arzi di to nikli dhup

arzi di to nikli dhup
kohre ne dhak li thi dhup
do qadmon par manzil thi
zoron se phir barsi dhup


budhi amma bunti thi
garm sweater jaisi dhup
dhup mein tarse sae ko
sae mein shab aai dhup


bhuki nangi basti ne
khai juthan pahni dhup
phungi par aa baithi dekh
kitni shatir nikli dhup


sae mein hi rahte ho
dekhi bhi hai tikhi dhup
ghurbat ke chulhe pe hai
faqon kei phiki si dhup


ghazlon ke charkhe pe nit
ehsashon kei kati dhup
dhalti sham ne dekhi hai
lathi le kar chalti dhup


chae ke cup mein ubli
akhbaron kei surkhi dhup
jiwan kya hai bol 'khayal'
khatti mithi tikhi dhup
