ajiib tarz-e-mulaaqaat ab ke bar rahii

tumhii.n the badale hue yaa merii nigaahe.n thii.n
tumhaarii nazaro.n se lagataa thaa jaise merii bajaaye
tumhaare ghar me.n ko_ii aur shaKhs aayaa hai
tumhaare ohade kii dene.n tumhen mubaarak

so tum ne meraa svaagat usii tarah se kiyaa
jo afasaraan-e-hukuumat ke aitaqaad me.n hai
takallufan mere nazadiik aa ke baiTh gaye
phir ehatamaam se mausam kaa zikr chhe.D diyaa

kuchh us ke baad siyaasat kii baat bhii nikalii
adab par bhii ko_ii do chaar tabasare faramaaye
magar na tum ne hameshaa kii tarah ye puuchhaa
kyaa vaqt kaisaa guzarataa hai teraa jaan-e-hayaat

pahaa.D din kii aziiyat me.n kitanii shiddat hai
ujaa.D raat kii tanhaa_ii kyaa qayaamat hai
shabo.n kii sust ravii kaa tujhe bhii shikavaa hai
Gam-e-firaaq ke qisse nishaat-e-vasl kaa zikr
ravaayatan hii sahii ko_ii baat to karate

ustajuu khoye huo.n kii umr bhar karate rahe
chaa.Nd ke ham_raah ham har shab safar karate rahe

raasto.n kaa ilm thaa ham ko na simto.n kii Khabar
shahar-e-naamaaluum kii chaahat magar karate rahe

ham ne Khud se bhii chhupaayaa aur saare shahar se
tere jaane kii Khabar dar-o-divaar karate rahe

vo na aayegaa hame.n maaluum thaa us shaam bhii
intazaar us ka magar kuchh soch kar karate rahe

aaj aayaa hai hame.n bhii un u.Daano.n kaa Khayaal
jin ko tere zaum me.n be-baal-o-par karate rahe
