Jism Mein KHwahish Na Thi Ehsas Mein KanTa Na Tha

jism mein KHwahish na thi ehsas mein kanTa na tha

is tarah jaga ki jaise raat-bhar soya na tha

ab yahi dukh hai hamin mein thi kami us mein na thi

us ko chaha tha magar apni tarah chaha na tha

jaane wale waqt ne dekha tha muD kar ek bar

go hamein pahchanta kam tha magar bhula na tha

hum bahut kafi the apne waste jaise bhi the

koi hum sa dost koi hum sa begana na tha

ajnabi rahen na jaane kis tarah aawaz den

jab safar par chal paDe the kis liye socha na tha

panw ka chakkar liye phirta rahega dosto

aur phir sochoge apne shahr mein kya kya na tha

hum bhi un raaton mein thaali par diya rakh kar chale

jab shiwale ki imarat ka koi dar wa na tha

farz ki manzil ne meri gumrahi bhi chhin li

warna 'ashk' is rasti-basti rah mein kya kya na tha
