duur se duur talak ek bhii daraKht na thaa


duur se duur talak ek bhii daraKht na thaa
tumhaare ghar kaa safar is qadar to saKht na thaa

kha.De them tum aur tumhe.n dekhane kaa vaqt ka thaa
 
[masaruuf = busy]
 
mai.n jis kii khoj me.n Khud kho gayaa thaa mele me.n
kahii.n vo meraa hii ehasaas to kam_baKht na thaa

jo zulm sah ke bhii chup rah gayaa na Khaul uThaa
vo aur kuchh ho magar aadamii kaa rakt na thaa

unhii.n faqiiro.n ne itihaas banaayaa hai yahaa.N
jin pe itihaas ko likhane ke liye vaqt na thaa

sharaab kar ke piyaa us ne zahar jiivan bhar
hamaare shahar me.n 'Neeraj'-saa ko_ii mast na thaa
