rango’n ki batein krti thi….

bat bey bat hansti thi…

waha koi basta ho jese….

asma’n ko deir tlak aise takti thi..

jugnu se, titli se…

sahil se, taro’n se…

barish k pani se…..

mojo’n ki rwani se….

be-had wo piyar karti thi..

chanda pe jo marti thi…

rat gae khirki mai khari…

flak se batein krti thi…

bsar kuch aise ratein krti thi..

barish mai bheegney ka shok tha us ko…

kehkishan pe basney ka jog tha us ko…

nhi ye hajat purani koi..

naa hee khush gumani koi..

mgr ab lgta hai aisa….

sach hai pr ik jhoot k jesa…

mere andar ik larki basti thi…

chanda pe jo marti thi….

janey kaha wo kho gae hai…

kuch masroof hogae hai…

ik mudat hui khamosh hogai hai…

chanda pe jo marti thi…

sunehri dhoop mai…

rango’n ki batein krti thi….

nae rastey nae manzil ki khoj mai bhtaktey hein

darbdari ki khak jb mukdar ban jae apni

rooh k skoot mai dil bhi kb dharaktey hein

nhi aisa k teyshae farhad ho hath mai apne

ha’n mgr moti umeed k ankho’n mai chmaktey hein

chragho’n ki loo ik sham madham parey to sahe

kae aftab to ab apni jbeen se ubhartey hein

ao puchein khud se fkat ik fakey k bad

kachi abadi mai bachey itna kyun blaktey hein

munkashif hote kaha hein ishq k asar bhi

be-khbar ae they hum sb ba-khbar ho k chaley

km bhala kb ho ski hai wakt ki raftar bhi

mot k zinda’n mai hai keid ye zindagi

afkar bhi izhar bhi ikrar bhi inkar bhi

jeetey ji martey rahey or mar k jeena bhi pra

azmatey hein kis kis trah wakt k ozar bhi

gulshaney mehr-o-wfa k phool they murjha gae

jism o ja’n be-zrar hein or rooh hai be-zar bhi

mot ki ankhon mai ankhein dal k jeena hiyaat

jawida’n kirdar hai ye jawida’n shoar bhi

kaim o daim hai fkat wakt ka behta lahu

fani zmeen-o-asma’n zindgi asar bhi
