sham paDte hi kisi shaKHs ki yaad
kucha-e-jaan mein sada karti hai

yahi wo din the jab ek dusre ko paya tha
hamari sal-girah Thik ab ke mah mein hai

Parveen Shakir

---

---

us ne mujhe dar-asl kabhi chaha hi nahin tha
KHud ko de kar ye bhi dhoka, dekh liya hai

Parveen Shakir

---

---

wo kahin bhi gaya lauTa to mere pas aaya
bas yahi baat hai achchhi mere harjai ki

Parveen Shakir

---

---

wo mere panw ko chhune jhuka tha jis lamhe
jo mangta use deti amir aisi thi

Parveen Shakir

---

---

wo mujh ko chhoD ke jis aadmi ke pas gaya
barabari ka bhi hota to sabr aa jata

Parveen Shakir

---

---

wo na aaega hamein malum tha is sham bhi
intizar us ka magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

Parveen Shakir

---

---

wo to KHush-bu hai hawaon mein bikhar jaega
masala phul ka hai phul kidhar jaega

Parveen Shakir

---

---

zindagi meri thi lekin ab to
tere kahne mein raha karti hai
