tishna-lab dasht mein yun log satae gae the

tishna-lab dasht mein yun log satae gae the
maqtal-e-ishq mein be-waqt hi lae gae the
hasrat-e-dast-e-talab khulne ki surat na bani
aakhiri saf mein bahut dur bithae gae the


shiddat-e-wasl ki hiddat mein jhulaste hi rahe
us ki jaanib jo parinde bhi udae gae the
takte rahte the kinare se musalsal donon
jaane dariya mein bhi kya waqt bahae gae the


ek to gard-e-safar aur siyah raat ka rang
raste bhul gae jo bhi dikhae gae the
dastan kahte hain sarhad ke sabhi budhe shajar
wo jo ajdad ke hathon se lagae gae the
