jis roz hamara kuch hoga
phulon ki dukanen band hongi
shirin-suKHanon ke harf-e-dushnam
be-mehr zabanen band hongi
palkon pe nami ka zikr hi kya
yaadon ka suragh tak na hoga
hamwari-e-har-nafas salamat
dil par koi dagh tak na hoga
pamali-e-KHwab ki kahani
kahne ko charagh tak na hoga
mabud is aaKHiri safar mein
tanhai ko sruKH-ru hi rakhna
juz tere nahin koi nigah-dar
us din bhi KHayal tu hi rakhna
jis aankh ne umar bhar rulaya
us aankh ko be-wazu hi rakhna
jis roz hamara kuch hoga
phulon ki dukanen band hongi
Nazm
Kuch
