jise paDhte to yaad aata tha tera phul sa chehra
hamari sab kitabon mein ek aisa bab rahta tha

jise na meri udasi ka kuchh KHayal aaya

jam gai dhul mulaqat ke aainon par
mujh ko us ki na use meri zarurat koi

jab talak aazad the har ek masafat thi wabaal
jab paDi zanjir pairon mein safar achchhe lage

hawa ke apne ilaqe hawas ke apne maqam

hawa daraKHton se kahti hai dukh ke lahje mein
abhi mujhe kai sahraon se guzarna hai

ghairon ko kya paDi hai ki ruswa karen mujhe
in sazishon mein hath kisi aashna ka hai

what is it to strangers to spread this calumny
the conspiracy is the work of someone close to me

ganw ki aankh se basti ki nazar se dekha
ek hi rang hai duniya ko jidhar se dekha

dekhne ke liye sara aalam bhi kam
chahne ke liye ek chehra bahut
