Jo mujhse dur jaana chahta tha

jo mujh se dur jaana chahta tha
wo mere sath hi pakDa gaya tha

main apni muTThiyon mein qaid tha ya
mujhe aisa kisi ne kar diya tha

meri aankhen to main ne noch lin thin
mujhe phir bhi kisi ne paDh liya tha

bichhaDte waqt bhi dil kuchh na bola
ye pagal zabt kar ke rah gaya tha

tha us se ishq ka izhaar karna
mujhe kuchh aur hi kahna paDa tha

use mujh se rihai chahiye thi
main apni lash par baiTha hua tha

kaha donon ne ek duje ko behtar
bas us ke baad jhagDa ho gaya tha

jahan ke tabsire se tang aa kar
bahut nuqsan hum ne kar liya tha

sitare baDh rahe the meri jaanib
magar wo chand kyun Thahra hua tha

mere yaro tumhaari hi badaulat
safar jari hua hai, ruk gaya tha

kabhi aawaz di thi 'muntazir' ko
main apne aap se Takra gaya tha
