ajib shakhs hai mujh ko to wo diwana lage
pukarta hun to us ko meri sada na lage

guzar raha hai mere sar se jo hawa ki tarah
kabhi kabhi to wahi lamha ek zamana lage

gali mein jis pe har ek samt se chale patthar
mujhe wo shakhs kisi tarah bhi bura na lage

mizaj us ne bhi kaisa ajib paya hai
hazar chhed karun par use bura na lage

hamare pichhe wo chup-chap baitha rahta hai
main sochta hun magar kuchh mujhe pata na lage

isi khayal se shayad hai band wo khidki
thathurti sham ki us ko kahin hawa na lage

sunaen kis ko yahan aap-biti ai 'aslam'
hamein to apni hi har baat khud fasana lage
