zara der baiThe the tanhai mein
teri yaad aankhen dukhane lagi

hammam ke aaine mein shab Dub rahi thi
cigarette se nae din ka dhuan phail raha tha

Adil Mansuri

---

---

aawaz ki diwar bhi chup-chap khaDi thi
khiDki se jo dekha to gali ungh rahi thi

Adil Mansuri

---

---

ismil ke taDapne ki adaon mein nasha tha
main hath mein talwar liye jhum raha tha

Adil Mansuri

---

---

chup-chap baiThe rahte hain kuchh bolte nahin
bachche bigaD gae hain bahut dekh-bhaal se

Adil Mansuri

---

---

dariya ke kinare pe meri lash paDi thi
aur pani ki tah mein wo mujhe DhunD raha tha

Adil Mansuri

---

---

dariya ki wusaton se use napte nahin
tanhai kitni gahri hai ek jam bhar ke dekh

Adil Mansuri

---

---

darwaza band dekh ke mere makan ka
jhonka hawa ka khiDki ke parde hila gaya

Adil Mansuri

---

---

darwaza khaTkhaTa ke sitare chale gae
KHwabon ki shaal oDh ke main unghta raha
