Uski gali ki khaak uRane ka jee kare

Prakash Fikri’s ghazal and especially the couplets:

woh shaKhs jis-se ruuTh ke tanhaa boh’t hu’e
uskii galii kii Khaak uRaane ko jii kare

bujhne lagii hai shaam andheroN kii god meN
har simt ek aag lagaane ko jii kare

Fikri yeh iKhtesaar to be-lutf saa rahaa
qissa ko’ii taviil sunaane ko jii kare

Prakash Fikri (or shall I write, Parkash) is one of the finest Urdu poets of the generation that made its mark in the 70s and 80s.
