shair bane hain doctor jo doctor na the
manzil unhen mili jo sharik-e-safar na the

gesu-e-yar pahle to yun mukhtasar na the
fashion hi kuchh tawil tha ya barber na the

aae meri lahad pe wo ghairon ki kar mein
aanchal tamam khushk tha rukhsar tar na the

khana-ba-dosh agar raha majnun to kya hua
ye wo zamana tha kahin sahra mein ghar na the

us waqt bhi pahunchti thi ghar ghar mein har khabar
jis waqt radio na tha ye tar-ghar na the

surkhab ke the par lage gul ki kulah mein
bulbul ka us mein khun tha bulbul ke par na the
