Hone Wala Tha Ek Hadsa Rah Gaya

hone wala tha ek hadsa rah gaya

kal ka sab se baDa waqia rah gaya

raat aangan mein utri nahin chandni

chand shaKHon mein uljha hua rah gaya

hum ne kah sun liya mutmain ho gae

aur ab kahne sunne ko kya rah gaya

subh hogi kahani banegi koi

zindagi ka yahi masala rah gaya

main ne nafrat ki khai pe pul rakh diya

phir bhi TuTa hua silsila rah gaya

sab Darame ke kirdar ghar chal diye

samne ek parda paDa rah gaya

ye bhi taklik-deh ek saza hi to hai

shaKH mein ek patta hara rah gaya

main kisi ke yahan waqt kya kaTta

apna hi ghar 'shafaq' DhunDhta rah gaya
