Faqirana Tabiat Thi Bahut Bebak Lahja Tha

faqirana tabiat thi bahut bebak lahja tha

kabhi mujh mein bhi hansta-khelta ek shaKHs rahta tha

bagule hi bagule hain meri viran aankhon mein

kabhi in rahguzaron mein koi dariya bhi bahta tha

tujhe jab dekhta hun to KHud apni yaad aati hai

mera andaz hansne ka kabhi tere hi jaisa tha

kabhi parwaz par meri hazaron dil dhaDakte the

dua karta tha koi to koi KHush-bash kahta tha

kabhi aise hi chhai thin gulabi badliyan mujh par

kabhi phulon ki sohbat se mera daman bhi mahka tha

main tha jab karwan ke sath to gulzar thi duniya

magar tanha hua to har taraf sahra hi sahra tha

bas itna yaad hai soya tha ek ummid si le kar

lahu se bhar gain aankhen na jaane KHwab kaisa tha
