Meri Ek Buri Aadat Thi

meri ek buri aadat thi

tu meri aadat ke hathon kaisi zich aur kitni diq thi

jab hairat ki ungli thame tere sath chala karta tha

ek shirin muskan ki belen mere tan buTe ke upar istehqaq se chaDhti thin

aur ek lams ka gata pani nas nas dip jalata tha

lams ke jugnu aur muskan ki titli mere khilaune the

in donon ki duri sahna jine jaisa mushkil tha

in ko pallu mein bandhe tu jab bhi dur kahin jati thi

main wiswas ki Dor se lipTa pichhe pichhe aa jata tha

sab logon se, har raste se tera pata puchha karta tha

ab hairat ki ungli thame tu ek aise des gai hai

jis ke sab bazar aur galiyan, sare ghar aur sab chaubare

gahri dhund mein sar-basta hain, guzre kal se paiwasta hain

main is dhund ke chaurahe par nam aaankhon ko ponchh raha hun

rote rote soch raha hun

kis ko rokun kis se puchhun kya meri man ko dekha hai?

is raste se ho ke gai thi

apni ek buri aadat se kaisa zich aur kitna diq hun
