Nind Pyari Nind

jab khuli aankhon se apne aas-pas

dekhta hun apni duniya kis qadar mahdud-o-tang

aur phir

ek jagte lamhe mein main

band kar leta hun apni aankh aur

dekhta hun samne phaila hua ek jahan-e-be-kanar

dekhta hun apni hi aankhon se wo sare manazir

shahr aur aabaadiyan

saikDon sadiyon se jo mahfuz hain

kis ko dekhun kis ko chhoDun

aisi ek duniya na jis ka or-chhor

na to samten aur haden

aur ufuq napaid, ghaeb aasman

sochta hun aah mera ye safar kitna tawil

fasle itne ki un ki ab koi manzil nahin

tai karunga aur thak jaunga main

aur meri nind ruThi hi rahegi taki main aaram lun

khaul deta hun ye aankhen

aur ab KHush hun chalo fursat mili is muft ki begar se

kya bataun mere andar se us dam

do nai aankhen nikal kar

meri aankhon ki jagah leti hain

phir pahunch jata hun us duniya mein

jis se bhag kar aaya tha main

phir wahi sare manazir shahr aur aabaadiyan

jaise ek aaseb ban kar mere sar pe chha gain

aah mujh ko kha gain

kash koi wo khuli aankhen mujhe wapas dila de

main hamesha ke liye ban jaunga us shaKHs ka

aaj tak wo shaKHs meri aankh se ojhal hai, main

maut tak kya so sakunga

maut hi wo apni pyari nind hai

jo hamesha ke liye apne musafir ko sulati hai

use tohfa ata karti hai

jis ko hum kabhi aaram kahte kabhi amn-o-sukun

main usi ki kali zulfon ka asir

main usi apni dulhan ka muntazir hun
