KHwahishen Itni BaDhin Insan Aadha Rah Gaya

KHwahishen itni baDhin insan aadha rah gaya

KHwab jo dekha nahin wo bhi adhura rah gaya

main to us ke sath hi ghar se nikal kar aa gaya

aur pichhe ek dastak ek saya rah gaya

us ko to pairahanon se koi dilchaspi na thi

dukh to ye hai rafta rafta main bhi nanga rah gaya

rang taswiron ka utra to kahin Thahra nahin

ab ke wo barish hui har naqsh phika rah gaya

umr bhar manzar-nigari KHun mein utri rahi

phir bhi aankhon ke muqabil ek dariya rah gaya

raunaqen jitni thin dahlizon se bahar aa gain

sham hi se ghar ka darwaza khula kya rah gaya

ab ke shahr-e-zindagi mein saneha aisa hua

main sada deta use wo mujh ko takta rah gaya

titliyon ke par kitabon mein kahin gum ho gae

muTThiyon ke aaine mein ek chehra rah gaya

rail ki gaDi chali to ek musafir ne kaha

dekha wo koi station pe baiTha rah gaya

main na kahta tha ki ujlat is qadar achchhi nahin

ek paT khiDki ka aa kar dekh lo wa rah gaya

log apni kirchiyan chun chun ke aage baDh gae

main magar saman ikaTTha karta tanha rah gaya

aaj tak mauj-e-hawa to lauT kar aai nahin

kya kisi ujDe nagar mein dip jalta rah gaya

ungliyon ke naqsh gul-danon pe aate hain nazar

aao dekhen apne andar aur kya kya rah gaya

dhup ki garmi se inTen pak gain phal pak gae

ek hamara jism tha aKHtar jo kachcha rah gaya
