ab is makan mein naya koi dar nahin karna

us se rishta hai abhi tak mera

sawad-e-sham na rang-e-sahar ko dekhte hain

yahan se to ab rasta hi nahin

ye jo dhuan dhuan sa hai dasht-e-guman ke aas-pas

apna socha hua agar ho jae

main band aankhon se kab talak ye ghubar dekhun

zaKHm khana hi jab muqaddar ho

kya dil ka ye ilaqa Khaali paDa rahega

wo ek sawal-e-sitara ki aasman mein tha

nahin aasman teri chaal mein nahin aaunga

andhera sa kya tha ubalta hua

yun hi kab tak upar upar dekha jae

badan-sarab na dariya-e-jaan se milta hai

udhar se aae to phir lauT kar nahin gae hum

log kahte the wo mausam hi nahin aane ka

phenkte sang-e-sada dariya-e-virani mein hum

aaya hi nahin koi bojh apna uThane ko

kisi se kya kahen sunen agar ghubar ho gae

chhoDo ab us charagh ka charcha bahut hua

sar-ba-sar paikar-e-izhaar mein lata hai mujhe

un aankhon mein rang-e-mai nahin hai

kisi ka aks-e-badan tha na wo sharara tha

raqs-e-sharar kya ab ke wahshat-nak hua

kya karte kahin aur Thikana hi nahin tha

KHabar sunte to hain us sang-dil ke dil mein aane ki

hum log is ummid mein ghar se nikal aae

nahin puchhte hum kyon aisa kiya

kya jaane kahan le gai tanhai hamari

ho hi jata hai kisi tarah guzara apna

kisi ko kya bataiye ki bas do-chaar ho gae

past-o-buland sara hamwar kar ke lauTe

yaqinan aapko dhoka hua hai

kya jaaniye us nam mein kya bhed bhara tha

roz be-waqt yahan kaun sada deta hai

wo jaan ke mujhse hi anjaan hua kitna

dekhe jo ek bar ruKH-e-yar ki taraf

koi sawal sitara sa aasman mein tha

in aankhon se yun rah-e-suKHan wa nahin karte

shor hua kya ab ke aatish-nak hua

shikwa karte hain jo ek bar kahin milte hain

mujhse kya aur ab aaKHir ye hawa chahti hai

raat to bit chuki phir bhi nasha tari hai

ab ye dhun chhoD bhi do usko kahan paoge

tum to kahte the wo mausam hi nahin aane ka

bhala kin aankhon se ab ye rang-e-bahaar dekhun

ye aab-e-sarab kuchh nahin hai

rah gai thi yahi ek baat batane ke liye

wahi dil ko hai yar-e-jaani ke sath

kya kahun KHamosh dariya se main pani ke liye
