ye bastiyaan baDi gunjaan hain magar in mein — Shahida Lateef

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

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

phuul ko chuum ke gulzaar banaa sakti hai
aisi ik baat hai honTon ki paziraai mein

sahj yaad aa gayaa vo laal holi-baaz juun dil mein
gulaali ho gayaa tan par mire khirqa jo ujlaa thaa

bagule us ke sar par chikhte the
magar vo aadmi chup zaat kaa thaa
