[sara butt]

Suno!
Naraz ho hum se.
Magr hum wo hen jin ko manana bhi nhi ata.
Kisi ne aj tak hum se muhabat jo nhi ki he.
Muhabat kis trah hoti he?
Humare shehar k atraf min to.
Sakht pehra tha khizaon ka.
Or is shehar-e-pareshan ki fasilen.
Zard belon se ladi thin.
Or un min na khushbu thi, na koi phool tum jesa.
Mehak uthe humare deeda-o-dil jis ki qurbat se.
Hum aise shehar ki sunsan galiyon min.
Kisi sukhe hoe wiran patte ki trah se the.
K jab zalim hawa hum par qadam rakhti.
To us k paon k niche humara dam nikal jata.
Magr pat jhar ka wo mosam.
Suna he tal chukka ab to.
Magr jo haar hona thi.
So wo to ho chuki hum ko.
Suno!
Haare hoe logon se to rootha nhi karte.
