aa gira zinda shamshan mein lakDiyon ka dhuan dekh kar
ek musafir parinda kai sard raaton ka mara hua

arishen us ka lab-o-lahja pahan leti thin
shor karti thi wo barsat mein jhanjhar ki tarah

Mansoor Aafaque

as ek lunch hi mumkin tha jaldi jaldi mein
use bhi jaana tha mujh ko bhi kaam karna tha

Mansoor Aafaque

as ek raat se kaise thakan utarti hai
badan ko chahiye aaram kuchh ziyaada hi

Mansoor Aafaque

ek patthar hai ki bas surKH hua jata hai
koi pahron se khaDa hai kisi diwar ke pas

Mansoor Aafaque

patthar ke jism mein tujhe itna kiya talash
'mansur' Dher lag gae ghar mein kabaD ke

Mansoor Aafaque

---

---

qayam karta hun akasr main dil ke kamre mein
ki jam na jae kahin gard us ki chizon pa

Mansoor Aafaque

---

---

sard ThiThuri hui lipTi hui sarsar ki tarah
zindagi mujh se mili pichhle december ki tarah

Mansoor Aafaque

---

---

tere bhulane mein mera qusur itna hai
ki paD gae the mujhe kaam kuchh ziyaada hi
