[Khu$h!]

tere jaesa mera bhi haal tha na sukoon tha na qaraar tha
yahi umr thi mere humnashee ke kisi se mujhko bhi pyaar tha


mae samajh raha hun teri kasak tera mera dard hae mushtarak
issi ghum ka tu bhi aseer hae issi ghum ka mae bhi shikaar tha


faqat ek dhun thi ke raat din usi khwab -zar mein ghum rahein
wo suroor aesa suroor tha wo khumaar aesa khumaar tha


kabhi lamha bhar ki bhi guftugoo meri uss ke saath na ho saki
mujhe fursatein na mil saki, wo hawa ke ruth pe sawaar tha


hum ajeeb tarz ke log the ke hamare aur hi rog the
mae khizaa mein tha uska muntazir, usse intezaar-e-bahaar tha


isse pardh ke tum na samajh sake ke meri kitaab ki roop mein
koi karz tha kayee saal ka, kayee rat-jagon ka udhaar tha
