Hawa

bahut din se

kai an-dekhe ilzamat ke bais

hawa matlub hai hum ko

hawa tarik raaton mein

hamare KHwab le jati hai

aur wapas nahin karti

hamare KHat churaati hai

hamare dil ki baaten

rah-giron ko sunati hai

hamare git

maidanon gali kuchon mein gati hai

hum apne dil ke

zang-alud KHanon mein

mohabbat joD ke rakhte hain

lekin sham hote hi

hawa ek narm jhonke se

ye KHane khol leti hai

wahan jo kuchh hai le jati hai

aur hum se ijazat tak nahin leti

mohabbat qarz hai

ye baat kahne ki

hamein mohlat nahin deti

hamein kaghaz pe apna nam

apne zimme wajib KHwab

likhne ki suhulat tak nahin deti

hawa par jurm ko sabit hue

muddat hui shayad

hawa mafrur hai jab se

hawa aai to hum us ko

kisi andhe kuen mein band kar denge

ya ek tarik tah-KHane mein le ja kar

samundar se ziyaada be-karan

tanhai ka paband kar denge

agar mumkin hua to hum hawa ko

KHushk patton ki tarah se

KHak ka paiwand kar denge
