baraso.n ke baad dekhaa ik shaKhs dil_rubaa saa


baraso.n ke baad dekhaa ik shaKhs dil_rubaa saa 
ab zahan me.n nahii.n hai par naam thaa bhalaa saa 

abaruu khi.nche khi.nche se aa.Nkhe.n jhukii jhukii sii 
baate.n rukii rukii sii lahajaa thakaa thakaa saa 

alfaaz the ke jugnuu aavaaz ke safar me.n 
ban jaaye jangalo.n me.n jis tarah raastaa saa 

Khvaabo.n me.n Khvaab us ke yaado.n me.n yaad us kii 
niindo.n me.n ghul gayaa ho jaise ke rat_jagaa saa 

pahale bhii log aaye kitane hii zindagii me.n 
vo har tarah se lekin auro.n se thaa judaa saa 

agalii muhabbato.n ne vo naa_muraadiyaa.N dii.n 
taazaa rafaaqato.n se dil thaa Daraa Daraa saa 

kuchh ye ke muddato.n se ham bhii nahii.n the roye 
kuchh zahar me.n bujhaa thaa ahabaab kaa dilaasaa 

phir yuu.N huaa ke saavan aa.Nkho.n me.n aa base the 
phir yuu.N huaa ke jaise dil bhii thaa aabalaa saa 

ab sach kahe.n to yaaro ham ko Khabar nahii.n thii 
ban jaayegaa qayaamat ik vaaqi_aa zaraa saa 

tevar the beruKhii ke andaaz dostii ke 
vo ajanabii thaa lekin lagataa thaa aashnaa saa 

ham dasht the ke dariyaa ham zahar the ke amrit 
naahaq thaa zo.Num ham ko jab vo nahii.n thaa pyaasaa 

ham ne bhii us ko dekhaa kal shaam ittefaaqan 
apanaa bhii haal hai ab logo 'Faraz' kaa saa
