shayad wo koi harf-e-wafa dhoond raha tha

gumsum hua awaaz ka darya tha jo ik shakhs
pathar bhi nhi ab woh, sitara tha jo ik shakhs

shayad wo koi harf-e-wafa dhoond raha tha
chehron ko baray ghaur sey parhta tha jo ik shakhs
sehra ki tarha dair sey pyaasa tha woh shayad
badal ki tarha toot k barsa tha jo ik shakhs

ay taiz hawa koi khabar us k janoon ki…?
Tanha safar-e-shauq pey nikla tha jo ik shakhs

ab aakhri satron men kahin naam hai us ka
ahbaab ki fehrist men pehla tha jo ik shakhs

haathon men chupaey huay phirta hai kai zakhm
sheeshay k khilonon sey behelta tha jo ik shakhs

mur mur k ussay daikhna chaahein meri aankhein
kuch dur mujhey chorney aaya tha jo ik shakhs

ab us ney bhi apna liye duniya k qareenay
saaey ki rafaqat sey bhi darta tha jo ik shakhs

har zehan men kuch naqsh-e-wafa chor gaya hai
kehney ko bharay shehar men tanha tha jo ik shakhs

munkar hai ab wohi meri pehchan ka mohsin
aksar mujhey khat khoon sey likhta tha jo ik shakhs
