durgat bane hai chaae mein biscuit ki jis tarah — Nashtar Amrohvi

khaa kar ye haal ho gayaa hotel ki roTiyaan
jaise ki haDDiyon pe manDhi meri khaal hai

us ne thaane mein rapaT kuchh aisi likhvaai ki bas
phir police ne ki miri aisi paziraai ki bas

bachchon se munh ko moD ke begam to so gaiin
su-su har ik ko main ne karaayaa tamaam raat

vo motiyon se daant vo lambe siyaah baal
naqli thaa saaraa maal pata chal gayaa mujhe

din mein to kah rahi thi ki tum mere sher ho
aur us ke baa'd ullu banaayaa tamaam raat

do chaar manzilon hi pe saansein ukhaD gaiin
ghuTnon pe hai zavaal pata chal gayaa mujhe

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

aaina to 'aibon ki khabar detaa hai 'aasif'
khush-fahmi-e-insaan kaa magar koi kare kyaa

nahin nahin main bahut khush rahaa huun tere baghair
yaqin kar ki ye haalat abhi abhi hui hai

kaun si aisi kami mere khad-o-khaal mein hai
aaina khush nahin hotaa kabhi mil kar mujh se

balaa-e-jaan thi jo bazm-e-tamaashaa chhoD di main ne
khushaa ai zindagi khvaabon ki duniyaa chhoD di main ne

us ko sochun to dhyaan mein mere
khushbu aati hai pahli baarish ki
