hone ko yun to shahr mein apna makan tha
hone ko yuuñ to shahr meñ apnā makān thā
nafrat kā regzār magar darmiyān thā
lamhe ke TūTne kī sadā sun rahā thā maiñ
jhapkī jo aañkh sar pe nayā āsmān thā
kahne ko haath bāñdhe khaḌe the namāz meñ
pūchho to dūsrī hī taraf apnā dhyān thā
allāh jaane kis pe akaḌtā thā raat din
kuchh bhī nahīñ thā phir bhī baḌā bad-zabān thā
shole ugalte tiir baraste the charḳh se
saaya thā paas meñ na koī sā.ebān thā
sab se kiyā hai vasl kā vaada alag alag
kal raat vo sabhī pe bahut mehrbān thā
muñh-phaT thā be-lagām thā rusvā thā DhiiT thā
jaisā bhī thā vo dosto mahfil kī jaan thā
hone ko yun to shahr mein apna makan tha
nafrat ka regzar magar darmiyan tha
lamhe ke TuTne ki sada sun raha tha main
jhapki jo aankh sar pe naya aasman tha
kahne ko hath bandhe khaDe the namaz mein
puchho to dusri hi taraf apna dhyan tha
allah jaane kis pe akaDta tha raat din
kuchh bhi nahin tha phir bhi baDa bad-zaban tha
shole ugalte tir baraste the charKH se
saya tha pas mein na koi saeban tha
sab se kiya hai wasl ka wada alag alag
kal raat wo sabhi pe bahut mehrban tha
munh-phaT tha be-lagam tha ruswa tha DhiT tha
jaisa bhi tha wo dosto mahfil ki jaan tha
