Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan
mere ham-raqs sae ko bil-aKHir yunhi Dhalna tha
mohabbat ka diya aise bujha tha
dekha palaT ke jab bhi to phaila ghubar tha
zara si raat Dhal jae to shayad nind aa jae
sare manzar dilkash the har baat suhani lagti thi
KHud hi diya jalati hun
ek muddat se yahan Thahra hua pani hai
koi jab mil ke muskuraya tha
shikayat hum nahin karte riayat wo nahin karte
dard ka samundar hai sirf par hone tak
zindagi chupke se ek baat kaha karti hai
muddaton humse mulaqat nahin karte hain
kabhi tum bhigne aana meri aankhon ke mausam mein
jaise KHushiyon mein gham nahin hote
hamein to sath chalne ka hunar ab tak nahin aaya
