KHwab Ki Dilli

sapne mein raat aai dilli

dair talak batyai dilli

puchh rahi thi haal batao

guzra kaise sal batao

basne walon mein dilli ke

bolo sachche dost nahin the

ya ki buzurgon ki sohbat mein

kami thi kuchh un ki shafqat mein

ba-yak nazar har chiz bhula di

manzar ko ya KHud ko saza di

main jo tere dil ki ada thi

kya meri ulfat hi KHata thi

galiyan saDken daftar hotel

har ja hai yaadon ki halchal

aaj mein kya KHubi hai jo yun

bhul chuke ho tum apna kal

husn ke hain wo kaun se jalwe

jo mere daman mein nahin the

kya aisi uftad paDi jo

bhul gae dil-saz zamin ko

kya mere sae ke niche

rahat aur aaram nahin the

mana parai thi main hae

apnon se kitne sukh pae

sawalon ki is aaD mein dilli

wajh-e-judai puchh rahi thi

jami thin mujh par kai nigahen

dil mein dabi thin apni aahen

kahta kya alfaz nahin the

aankhon se aansu bah nikle

sari haalat jaan gai wo

kah ke mujhe nadan gai wo

sapne mein raat aai dilli

dair talak batyai dilli
