Naya ghar

kahin dur basti ki aaghosh mein
wo humakta hua ek naya ghar

apne atraf se be-KHabar
nanhe bachche ke manind hansta hua

ek nae-pan ki KHushbu mein basta hua
hamesha mujhe aur tum ko bulata rahega

apni muTThi ke ghunghru bajata rahega
wo naya ghar jo mera tumhaara nahin tha

kisi taur se bhi hamara nahin tha
kucha kucha bhaTakte hue jis ke dar par

thake-haare hum tum shikasta-dil o KHak-basar
tan pe bar-e-nadamat uThae hue ruk gae the

us ke diwar-o-dar farsh o aangan
hamein dekh kar kis tarah jhuk gae the

us ke phaile hue bazuon ne
hamein is tarah se samoya

aur aisi jagah di
ki chehron ki miTTi rifaqat ki afshan bani

aur nadamat ki zardi na jaane kahan miT gai
mujh ko aisa laga jaise anmol moti

tah-e-ab se mauj-dar-mauj laDta hua
KHud kinare tak aae

apna KHakistari KHol suraj ki tahwil mein de ke
sari thakan bhul jae

phir shua-e-mohabbat se sara jahan jagmagae
mere dal ne dua di KHudawand-e-bartar

isi raushni mein nahata rahe ye naya ghar
apni muTThi ke ghunghru bajata rahe ye naya ghar

hamari tarah dusre dil-zadon ko bulata rahe ye naya ghar
