Kuchh rang hausle ka paro`n per lagaa diya
bas phir ha`nsi ha`nsi me hawa ko haraa diya

poochha kisi ne us-se t`aaruf mera, to wo
gul khud ko keh gaya, mujhe ka`nta bataa diya

toota nahi`n hai tanz-o-adawat ka silsila
aa kar meri mazaar pe,wo muskuraa diya

lete hi naam zehar ka ho jata hai zinda
sukrat ko ye kaun sa amrit pilaa diya

`kausar`n hota aaj bhi ehsaas-e-muflisi
beta n poochhta jo, mujhe toone kya diya

Poonam `kausar`
