Targhib

kabhi tum jo aao
to main subh ke chhuTpuTe mein

tumhein sab se unchi imarat ki chhat se dikhaun
daraKHton ke ek sabz kambal mein lipTa hua shahr sara

kalas aur mehrab ke darmiyan uDne wale muqaddas kabutar
bahut dur chandi ke ek tar aisi nadi

is se aage jari kohsaron ka ek surmai silsila
kabhi tum jo aao

to main ek tapti hui dopahar mein
tumhein apne is aahani shahr mein le chalun

ek lohe ke jhule mein tum ko biThaun
tumhein sab se unchi imarat ki chhat se dikhaun

milon ke siyah rang nathnon se bahta dhuan
tang galiyon se risti hui naliyan

jo masamon ki surat
makanon ke jismon se gaDe pasine ko KHarij karen

khansti honkti shahrahen
hirasan ghasili, thaki Texiyan

purane grandiel peDon ke kaTne ka manzar
shikasta imaraat ki haDDiyon par

muDi chonch wale siyah-fam bulldozeron ke jhapaTne ka wahshi saman
kabhi tum jo aao

to main tum ko palkon par apni biThaun
tumhein apne sine ke andar ka manzar dikhaun
