guzre haiN tire baad bhi kuChh log idhar se
lekin tirri khushboo na gayi raahguzar se
kyuN duubti bhujti hui aankhoN meN hai raushan
raatoN ko shikaayat hai to itni hai sahar se
larza tha badan us ka mire haath se Chhuu kar
dekha tha mujhe us ne ajab mast nazar se
kya Thhaan ke nikla tha kahaaN aa ke paRa hai
puuChhe to koi is dil-e-sharminda safar se
aaya hai bahut der meN voh shaKhs par us ko
jazbaat ki is bhiiR meN dekhuuN maiN kidhar se
ham rizq-e-guzargaah to Khashaak the lekin
voh log jo nikle the hava dekh ke ghar se
aisa to nahiiN, meri tarah sarv-e-lab-e-juu
qadamoN pe khaRaa ho kisi uftaad ke Dar se
din the k hameN shahr-e-badan tak ki Khabar thi
aur ab nahiiN aaghah tere khair Khabar se
Amjad na qadam rok k voh duur ki manzil
nikle gi kisi roz isii gard-e-safar se
lekin tirri khushboo na gayi raahguzar se
kyuN duubti bhujti hui aankhoN meN hai raushan
raatoN ko shikaayat hai to itni hai sahar se
larza tha badan us ka mire haath se Chhuu kar
dekha tha mujhe us ne ajab mast nazar se
