Hamare Din Guzar Gae

gharon mein koi peD hai na motiye ki bail hai

na dal ko baghaarti hui jawan laDkiyan

ki sab chalan badal gaya

faraghaton ke din gae

gain wo kunj-e-waqt ki safed rish saaten

shajar ki rahdariyan ujaD gain

ghani dopahar mein khuli khuli si dhup ka safar bhi ruk gaya

gali ke surKH moD par

kanar-e-sham nuqrai libas mein jamalti hui sharir apsara nahin rahi

wo rish mein gundhe hue

badan ka KHam zamin par utarte hue zaif laThiyon pe Dolte

KHamida sar nahin rahe

wo tyron se khelta ghubar uData bachpana

wo sanwle hijab mein safed muskurahaTen

haya ki sabz katranen ki jin pe surKH motiyon ka nilgun lihaf tha

na-jaane kaun samt hain

jale bujhe se dip hain nazar ki rahguzar mein

zara zara si raushni ki jis mein KHam ujlaten

badan ke dagh sinchtin

jhuke jhuke mizaj par tani tani si uljhanen

dalil se wara hai sari guftugu ka saneha

zara zara si zindagi baDa baDa sa KHauf hai

labon ke surKH baam par malal-e-raftagan nahin

firasaton ka qaht hai

malamaton ka ahd hai

hamein fareb-e-zindagi zara sa kaam kya paDa

hamare din guzar gae
