dhoop meiN shiddat bhi bohat thi

rasta bhi kaThan, dhoop meiN shiddat bhi bohat thi
saaye
se magar us ko mohabbat bhi bohat thi

kheme
na koii mere musaafir ke jalaaye
zakhmi tha bohat paaooN musaafat bhi bohat thi
sab
dost mre muntazir-e-parda-e-shab the
din meiN to safar karne meiN diqqat bhi
bohat thi
barrish ki duaaoN meiN nami aaNkhi ki mil jaaye
jazbe ki
kabhi itni rafaaqat bhi bohat thi
kuchchh to tre mausam hi mujhe raas kam
aaye
aur kuchchh mri miTTi meiN baghaawat bhi bohat thi
phooloN ka
bikharna to muqaddar hi tha lekin
kuchchh is meiN hawaaoN ki siyaasat bhi
bohat thi
is tark-e-rafaaqat pe pareshaaN to hooN lekin
ab tak ke tre
saath pe herat bhi bohat thi
khush aaye tujhe shehr-e-munaafiq ki
ameeri
hum logoN ko sach kehne ki aadat bhi bohat thi
