Ek Musafir

Yaad hain? ek din hum chaman main beite beite
Hamari nishan-e-mohabbath ke liye
Pyara sa gulab ka ek ped lagaya tha…!
Jugnu-o-Gul-o-gulzaron ne use khoob sajaya tha…!
Ek doosron- ke bahon-main khoye huwe hum ko
hawaon ne jagaya tha.
Chali gayi thi chorr ke…
Maine bulaya…
“aakar dekho, us par phool aaya hai”

Yaad he? uss din kaha tha tum ne beite beite
Mujhe apni bahon main liye huwe…
Jab tak saans hain, paas rahogey
Mera saaya banker saat phirogey
Phir bhi chali gayi who waadey torr ke…!
Aaj baharon ne mera chaman loota he…
Aur apnon ne mera aman loota he
Uski bahon ke bina khona chorr diya..
Toh hawaon ne bhi aana chorr diya…
Ab na Jugnu chamkey, Na Gul Khile, Na gulzar mehke ‘Musafir’..
Maine bulaya:
“aakar dekho, wo phool murjha gaya hai”
