Tab

pahle hum jate the jab sasural mein

bolta tha har koi sur-tal mein

de nahin sakte ise lafzon ka rup

garm-joshi thi jo istiqbaal mein

sas ka chehra chamak uThta tha yun

chand jaise jhil ke patal mein

pyar mein Dubi sasur ki guftugu

kitni shirini thi in aqwal mein

khilkhila uThti thin sari saliyan

phurtiyan aati thin un ki chaal mein

baiThne pate na the aur dafatan

saj ke aa jati thi chae thaal mein

ahd-e-mazi ka wo bab-e-tabnak

bhul hum sakte hain kaise haal mein

ab

ab kabhi jate hain jab sasural mein

aur wo bhi ek bar ek sal mein

garm-joshi sirf dikhlati hai ab

sard-mehri hum ko istiqbaal mein

sas pa kar mere aane ki KHabar

sar chhupa kar so gai hai shaal mein

aur sasur lagta hai yun baiTha hua

sher jaise aadmi ki khaal mein

saliyan karke salam-e-sarsari

mast ho jati hain apne haal mein

chae ka to zikr hi mat kijiye

ab to bas kala hai sab kuchh dal mein

waqt hum par ye bhi aana tha 'munir'

phans gae hain ab to ek janjal mein
