kisi ki yaad ka saya tha ya ki jhonka tha
kisī kī yaad kā saayā thā yā ki jhoñkā thā
mire qarīb se ho kar koī to guzrā thā
ajab tilism thā us shahr meñ bhī ai logo
palak jhapakte hī apnā jo thā parāyā thā
mujhe ḳhabar ho jo apnī to tum ko likh bhejūñ
abhī to DhūñD rahā huuñ vo ghar jo merā thā
kisī ne muḌ ke na dekhā kisī ne daad na dī
lahūluhān laboñ par mire bhī naġhma thā
maiñ bach ke jaatā to kis samt kis jagah ki mujhe
kahīñ zamīñ ne kahīñ āsmāñ ne gherā thā
zarā pukār ke dekhūñ na un dayāroñ meñ
mirā ḳhayāl hai ik shaḳhs merā apnā thā
mahak lahū kī thī yā tere pairahan kī thī
mire badan se hayūlā sā ek lipTā thā
udaas ghaḌiyo zarā ye pata to de jaao
kahāñ gayā vo ḳhushī kā jo ek lamha thā
kisi ki yaad ka saya tha ya ki jhonka tha
mere qarib se ho kar koi to guzra tha
ajab tilism tha us shahr mein bhi ai logo
palak jhapakte hi apna jo tha paraya tha
mujhe KHabar ho jo apni to tum ko likh bhejun
abhi to DhunD raha hun wo ghar jo mera tha
kisi ne muD ke na dekha kisi ne dad na di
lahuluhan labon par mere bhi naghma tha
main bach ke jata to kis samt kis jagah ki mujhe
kahin zamin ne kahin aasman ne ghera tha
zara pukar ke dekhun na un dayaron mein
mera KHayal hai ek shaKHs mera apna tha
mahak lahu ki thi ya tere pairahan ki thi
mere badan se hayula sa ek lipTa tha
udas ghaDiyo zara ye pata to de jao
kahan gaya wo KHushi ka jo ek lamha tha
