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

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

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