ye vo qabeela hai jo husn ko KHuda maane yahaañ pe kaun teri baat ka bura maane ishaara kar diya hai aapki taraf maine ye bacche pooch rahe the ki be-vafa maane

tum iska nuksaan bataati achchhii lagti ho varna hamko shauq nahin hai cigarette-noshi ka

ik ladka shabdon ka jaal bichaata hai aur ik ladki khwaab pirone lagti hai

jaane kaise KHush rahne ki aadat daali jaati hai unke yahaañ to baarish men bhi dhoop nikaali jaati hai

nigaahon ke taqaze chain se marne nahin dete yahaañ manzar hi aise hain ki dil bharne nahin dete humeen un se umeedein aasmaañ choone ki karte hain humeen bacchon ko apne faisley karne nahin dete

varq par aaj ke barson men thehra hai falak aao likhen zindaan men bhi nazm ham unwaan jo bhi ho

sab kuchh kamaal aur naya sa laga tha tab har shay hai ab hamaari tavajjoh kii aas men

Log jo patthar utha lete hain har ik bat par

abhii hi dil kii almaari sameti hai milega kal yahaañ bikhra hua sa kuchh

hayaat aa.e kahaan se halaak zarron men zuhoor qaid ki.e bin nahin rawai de
