Hawa Kuchh Apne Sawal Tahrir Dekhti Hai

hawa kuchh apne sawal tahrir dekhti hai

ki baadalon ko bhi misl-e-zanjir dekhti hai

mujhe bulata hai phir wahi shahr-e-na-muradi

ki aarzu aablon mein taswir dekhti hai

jo kashtiyon mein na baiTh pae wo ghar na pahunche

safar ki taid sham-e-taqsir dekhti hai

bahut dinon mein sitam ke dariya ka zor TuTa

sarisht-e-shab bhi barahna tazir dekhti hai

samundaron ka uruj phir ret ban gaya hai

shahab-e-saqib mein raat tafsir dekhti hai

hawa chali thi pa shahr-e-jaan ke the dar muqaffal

ye aankh apne hi KHwab taKHir dekhti hai

subu liye tishnagi khaDi thi ye jaanti thi

ki jaan-faroshon ko qaus-e-shamshir dekhti hai

niyabat-e-shahr un ke hathon mein ab na hogi

kaman-daron ko shab ki zanjir dekhti hai
