Bachpane Ki Yaad

ai bachpane ki duniya to yaad aa rahi hai

dil se meri sada-e-fariyaad aa rahi hai

rahat suna rahi thi afsana saltanat ka

thi man ki god mujh ko kashana saltanat ka

wo ghar ki dur jis se thi gardish-e-zamana

aazadiyon ka meri aabaad aashiyana

phirti hai ab nazar mein taswir us makan ki

arsh-e-barin se behtar thi sarzamin jahan ki

nazuk-mizaj ban kar wo ruThna machalna

sehn-e-makan mein din bhar wo kudna-uchhalna

allah-re wo taKHayyul allah-re saz-o-saman

duniya ki saltanat thi is zindagi pe qurban

us ahd-e-afyat mein ek bar phir sula de

ai mere ahd-e-mazi phir ek jhalak dikha de

bagh-e-jahan mein rakkha un shadiyon ne mujh ko

rahat ki loriyan din aazadiyon ne mujh ko

be-fikr zindagi thi KHud hosh mujh ko kab tha

ek kaif-e-be-KHudi tha mast-e-mai-e-tarab tha

ai umr-e-rafta tu ne ki mujh se be-walfai

aa ja palaT ke dam bhar main hun tera fidai

dil mein shararten thin kaise ghazab ki pinhan

rag rag mein bijliyan thin josh-e-tarab ki pinhan

hun apni zindagi ka andaza karne wala

jannat se la ke tu ne dozaKH mein mujh ko Dala
