Haw-hu

raste ajnabi manzilen ajnabi
hazirin ajnabi mahfilen ajnabi

zindagi kuchh nahin zindagi ajnabi
aur phir mere dil maut bhi ajnabi

yar bhi ajnabi aur aghyar bhi
radio Tw sare ye aKHbar bhi

hai zamin ajnabi aasman ajnabi
aur to aur kaun-o-makan ajnabi

samne aaine ke jo main aa gaya
aaine ne kaha kaun hai tu bata

kuchh to apna taaruf bhi mujh se kara
main hansa aur hans ke kahne laga

main bhi hun ajnabi aur tu ajnabi
shakl meri tere ru-ba-ru ajnabi

main bhi hairan hun tu bhi hairan hai
shahr sunsan hai dil bhi viran hai

Dher miTTi ka bas apni pahchan hai
saya-e-zulf-e-barham mein le chal mujhe

warna mai-KHana-e-gham mein le chal mujhe
qatra-e-ashk ya qatra-e-mai piyun

kyun na sarmaya-e-zist un ko kahun
dosti dushmani guftugu ajnabi

aaj sab kuchh ba-juz haw-hu ajnabi
