meRi soch kay thehray paani meiN

meRi soch kay thehray paani meiN
teray naiN kanwal jab hanstay haiN
meray dhiyaan kay ujlay aangan meiN

jab subha, sitaaray chunti hai!
jab shaam koi surr buntii hai
jab andaish’oan kee baahooN meiN
teray saans ka raisham khulta hai
jab harray kachoore khyaal’oan meiN
teray jazboan ka zarr ghulta hai
mein sochta hoooN in rastooN meiN
ham kitnee dair kay baad millay!

jab kitnay mausam beet ga’ay
is karb kathore musaafat mein
dil sadiyooN chiknaa chooRe huwa
is hijR kay taptay sehraa mein
kia ghazlaiN theiN jo raakh hoo’eiN
kia neend’ain thein jo khaak hoo’eiN
ham kitnee dair kay baad millay
kab itnee dair kay baad millay?

yeh dair bhi kia, jab aankh’oan kay
sab aansoo ab marjaan hoo’ay
sab aablay phoote kay toote ga’ay
sab zakhm hoo’ay yaqoote sifft
yeh ajar hai hijr kay mausam ka!
khud quuRb ke routt gull’paash hoee
teray nain kanwal khud bole paraaya:

teray saat’oan surr’oan kay sargam ka
sab sona meray naam hoo’a__!
ab teraY quuRb mein sochta hoan
yeh sadiyoan baad ka behlaawa!
ik khwaab sarishtt saRaab na ho
yeh roope sawaal na ho ja’ay,
yeh khwaab, khyaal na ho ja’ay
yeh raahat, karb anjaam na ho 

teray saath surr’oan kay sargam ka
sab roope khazaana sab sona
kisi aur sakhii kay naam na ho!!
jab shaam dhalay youn sochta hooN!
mein sochta hoan keoN sochtaa hooN?
meRi soch kay thehraY paani meiN
teraY nain kanwal jab hanstay hain
