koi taair idhar nahin aataa — Ada Jafarey

bas ek baar manaayaa thaa jashn-e-mahrumi
phir us ke baad koi ibtilaa nahin aai

jis ki jaanib 'adaa' nazar na uThi
haal us kaa bhi mere haal saa thaa

hazaar kos nigaahon se dil ki manzil tak
koi qarib se dekhe to ham ko pahchaane

dil ke viraane mein ghume to bhaTak jaaoge
raunaq-e-kucha-o-baazaar se aage na baDho

kuchh itni raushni mein the chehron ke aaine
dil us ko DhunDhtaa thaa jise jaantaa na thaa

varna insaan mar gayaa hotaa
koi be-naam justuju hai abhi
