hamaaraa kyaa hai


hamaaraa kyaa hai ke ham to chiraaG-e-shab kii tarah 
agar jale bhii to bas itanii raushanii hogii 
ke jaise tund andhero.n kii raah me.n juganuu 
zaraa sii der ko chamake chamak ke kho jaaye 
phir is ke baad kisii ko na kuchh sujhaa_ii de 
na shab kaTe na suraaG-e-sahar dikhaa_ii de 
hamaaraa kyaa hai ke ham to pas-e-Gubaar-e-safar 
agar chale bhii to bas itanii raah tay hogii 
ke tez havaao.n kii zard maa_il naqsh-e-qadam 
zaraa sii der ko ubhare ubhar ke mit jaaye 
phir us ke baad na raastaa na rah_guzar mile 
hadd-e-nigaah talak dasht-e-bekinar mile 
hamaarii simt na dekho ke ko_ii der me.n ham 
qabiilaa-e-dil-o-jaan judaa hone vaale hai.n 
base basaaye huye shahar apanii aa.Nkho.n ke 
misal-e-khaanaa-e-viiraan uja.Dane vaale hai.n 
havaa kaa shor ye hii hai to dekhate rahanaa 
hamaarii umar ke Kheme.n ukha.Dane vaale hai.n
