Tere Qarib Pahunchne Ke Dhang Aate The

tere qarib pahunchne ke Dhang aate the

ye KHud-fareb magar rah bhul jate the

hamein aziz hain in bastiyon ki diwaren

ki jin ke sae bhi diwar bante jate the

satiz-e-naqsh-e-wafa tha talluq-e-yaran

wo zaKHma-e-rag-e-jaan chheD chheD jate the

wo aur kaun tere qurb ko tarasta tha

fareb-KHurda hi tera fareb khate the

chhupa ke rakh diya phir aagahi ke shishe ko

is aaine mein to chehre bigaDte jate the

ab ek umar se dukh bhi koi nahin deta

wo log kya the jo aaThon pahar rulate the

wo log kya hue jo unghti hui shab mein

dar-e-firaq ki zanjir si hilate the
