ghar ke andar jaane ke — Aashufta Changezi

kis ki talaash hai hamein kis ke asar mein hain
jab se chale hain ghar se musalsal safar mein hain

hamein bhi aaj hi karnaa thaa intizaar us kaa
use bhi aaj hi sab vaade bhuul jaane the

teri khabar mil jaati thi
shahr mein jab akhbaar na the

tujh ko bhi kyuun yaad rakhaa
soch ke ab pachhtaate hain

khvaab jitne dekhne hain aaj saare dekh lein
kyaa bharosa kal kahaan paagal havaa le jaaegi

savaal karti kai aankhein muntazir hain yahaan
javaab aaj bhi ham soch kar nahin aae

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

na jaane us ne khule aasmaan mein kyaa dekhaa
parinda phir se jahaan-e-qafas mein lauT aayaa

ijz-o-niyaaz apnaa apni taraf hai saaraa
is musht-e-khaak ko ham masjud jaante hain

ruuh kis mast ki pyaasi gai mai-khaane se
mai uDi jaati hai saaqi tire paimaane se

tilaai rang jaanaan kaa agar mazmun likhun khat mein
to haala gird harfon ke bane sone ke paani kaa
