sher-o-suKHan ka shahr nahin ye shahr-e-izzat-daran hai
tum to 'rasa' bad-nam hue kyun auron ko bad-nam karun

Rasa Chughtai

shahr mein jaise koi aaseb hai
shahr mein muddat se hangama nahin

Rasa Chughtai

sahra-e-be-KHayal mein jal-thal kahan ke hain
aaKHir hawa-e-shauq ye baadal kahan ke hain

Rasa Chughtai

miTTi jab tak nam rahti hai
KHushbu taza-dam rahti hai

Rasa Chughtai

---

kaun dil ki zaban samajhta hai
dil magar ye kahan samajhta hai

Rasa Chughtai

---

jin aankhon se mujhe tum dekhte ho
main un aankhon se duniya dekhta hun

Rasa Chughtai

---

ishq mein bhi siyasaten niklin
qurbaton mein bhi fasla nikla

Rasa Chughtai

---

---

aahaTen sun raha hun yaadon ki
aaj bhi apne intizar mein gum

Rasa Chughtai

---

---

huin aankhen ajab behaal ab ke
ye barish kar gai kangal ab ke

Rasa Chughtai
