sunahre KHwabon ki wadi mein muddaton hum ne
kai makan basae kai makin badle
tamam umr raha intizar ka aalam
guzarte lamhon ka matam kiya niDhaal rahe
na doston mein koi ab na dushmanon mein koi
hamare mazi ka hum se hisab le kar jo
hamare sud-o-ziyan ka laga ke andaza
hamein batae ki kya khoya hum ne kya paya
bas ek waqt ki Thokar ba-shakl-e-sham-o-sahar
hamare panw mein lag lag ke puchhti hai roz
kahan se aae ho kab tak chaloge tum yunhi
jawab is ka bhi hai us ke pas hi lekin
sawal karne ki aadat si paD gai hai use
Nazm
Guzarte lamhon ka matam
