ab aise chaak par kuza-gari hoti nahin thi
ab aise chaak par kūza-garī hotī nahīñ thī
kabhī hotī thī miTTī aur kabhī hotī nahīñ thī
bahut pahle se afsurda chale aate haiñ ham to
bahut pahle ki jab afsurdagī hotī nahīñ thī
hameñ in hāloñ honā bhī koī āsān thā kyā
mohabbat ek thī aur ek bhī hotī nahīñ thī
diyā pahuñchā nahīñ thā aag pahuñchī thī gharoñ tak
phir aisī aag jis se raushnī hotī nahīñ thī
nikal jaate the sar par be-sar-o-sāmānī laade
bharī lagtī thī gaThrī aur bharī hotī nahīñ thī
hameñ ye ishq tab se hai ki jab din ban rahā thā
shab-e-hijrāñ jab itnī sarsarī hotī nahīñ thī
hameñ jā jā ke kahnā paḌtā thā ham haiñ yahīñ haiñ
ki jab maujūdgī maujūdgī hotī nahīñ thī
bahut takrār rahtī thī bhare ghar meñ kisī se
jo shai darkār hotī thī vahī hotī nahīñ thī
tumhī ko ham basar karte the aur din māpte the
hamārā vaqt achchhā thā ghaḌī hotī nahīñ thī
ab aise chaak par kuza-gari hoti nahin thi
kabhi hoti thi miTTi aur kabhi hoti nahin thi
bahut pahle se afsurda chale aate hain hum to
bahut pahle ki jab afsurdagi hoti nahin thi
hamein in haalon hona bhi koi aasan tha kya
mohabbat ek thi aur ek bhi hoti nahin thi
diya pahuncha nahin tha aag pahunchi thi gharon tak
phir aisi aag jis se raushni hoti nahin thi
nikal jate the sar par be-sar-o-samani lade
bhari lagti thi gaThri aur bhari hoti nahin thi
hamein ye ishq tab se hai ki jab din ban raha tha
shab-e-hijran jab itni sarsari hoti nahin thi
hamein ja ja ke kahna paDta tha hum hain yahin hain
ki jab maujudgi maujudgi hoti nahin thi
bahut takrar rahti thi bhare ghar mein kisi se
jo shai darkar hoti thi wahi hoti nahin thi
tumhi ko hum basar karte the aur din mapte the
hamara waqt achchha tha ghaDi hoti nahin thi
