eik gaoun piyara sa,
sarae jahan se
niyara sa ,
hanstabasta
seedha sada sa.
uske rustae aise
jaise chandan ,
uske rishte naatae
jaise atoot bandhan,
kachi paki uski galiyan,
dikhnae mein mitee
ka dher..
karo mehsus tou
prem nagar ki
bhool bhulayaan .
nazuk si pagdandee
meri havelee tak
jatee ,
hur qadam dil pe mere
naqsh banati,
kuch bhoole qison ki
yaad dilatee ,
mere purkhon se juri
eik katha sunatee.
Tootiphoti bosida see,
eik peheli uske
dar o deevaar mein
pooshidaa see ,
kuch raatain uski
aghosh mein khuabida si.
Bargad ka woh pair
udaas khara hai,
weeraani ka poda
kiss qadar tezi se
barhaa hai .
Mehakti thi jahan kaliyan ,
kuch khawb wahan pare
kumla rahae hain,
beetaiy lamhae mujhae
kamron ke sannaton se
bulaa rahae hain ,
faza mein jo khanake the ,
woh pal yaadon ke
jhoole mein jhula
rahae hain .
Havelee ke peeche,
peepal ke pair ke neeche,
baba ki qabar ka nishaan …
kuch ansu,kuch yadain…
aur mera dil e pereshaan .
Door kaheen doobbta sooraj
aur ye ghul kartee
shaam e khamoshaan …
woh gaoun woh rustae,
woh guzrae lamhe
mere zehan ko dastae,
yaadon ke nashtar mere
jigar mein dhanstae.
dheere dheere goun mera
toot raha hai,
yun lagae jaisae
mere ajdaad ke hathon se
mera haath choot raha hai,
dil mein ajab tees uthee hei ,
koi ablaa phir phoot raha hai.
Khuda hee iska aab muhaafiz ho,
Waqt pe behta chala hon
pardes ki janib,
Aiy Rab tu hee iska HAAFIZ ho !
