phir is ke baad ye bazar-e-dil nahin lagna
ye mauj mauj bani kis ki shakl si tabish
ye mohabbat ki kahani nahin marti lekin
main hun is shahr mein taKHir se aaya hua shaKHs
baiThe rahne se to lau dete nahin ye jism o jaan
hamein to is liye ja-e-namaz chahiye hai
bas ek moD meri zindagi mein aaya tha
hum hain sukhe hue talab pe baiThe hue hans
pahle to hum chhan aae KHak sare shahr ki
waqt lafzon se banai hui chadar jaisa
ghar pahunchta hai koi aur hamare jaisa
agar yunhi mujhe rakkha gaya akele mein
tu bhi ai shaKHs kahan tak mujhe bardasht kare
abhi to ghar mein na baiThen kaho buzurgon se
kuchh to apni gardanen kaj hain hawa ke zor se
