hawaen tez thin ye to faqat bahane the

havā.eñ tez thiiñ ye to faqat bahāne the

safīne yuuñ bhī kināre pe kab lagāne the

ḳhayāl aatā hai rah rah ke lauT jaane kā

safar se pahle hameñ apne ghar jalāne the

gumān thā ki samajh leñge mausamoñ kā mizāj

khulī jo aañkh to zad pe sabhī Thikāne the

hameñ bhī aaj hī karnā thā intizār us kā

use bhī aaj hī sab vaade bhuul jaane the

talāsh jin ko hamesha buzurg karte rahe

na jaane kaun sī duniyā meñ vo ḳhazāne the

chalan thā sab ke ġhamoñ meñ sharīk rahne kā

ajiib din the ajab sar-phire zamāne the

hawaen tez thin ye to faqat bahane the

safine yun bhi kinare pe kab lagane the

KHayal aata hai rah rah ke lauT jaane ka

safar se pahle hamein apne ghar jalane the

guman tha ki samajh lenge mausamon ka mizaj

khuli jo aankh to zad pe sabhi Thikane the

hamein bhi aaj hi karna tha intizar us ka

use bhi aaj hi sab wade bhul jaane the

talash jin ko hamesha buzurg karte rahe

na jaane kaun si duniya mein wo KHazane the

chalan tha sab ke ghamon mein sharik rahne ka

ajib din the ajab sar-phire zamane the
