istithi

har lavz ud gaya
ek baat rah gayee
failee maut pe saji
chandd rat rah gayee
kuch log the isi toote makan me
maujud ek shehr tha
unki zuban me
bas raakh rah gayee
ek jalti yaad rah gayee
har lavz ud gaya
ek bat rah gayee

mazhab me fir boyi ranjish
to ab kya phool khilega
aankho se chipak kar
shab bhar chaand jalega
na eid mani hai
na paet bhara hai
na zakhm bhare hai
na ashq kam hue
kahi rishte dafn hue
kahi aag rah gayee
har lavz ud gaya
ek baat rah gayee
failee maut pe saji
chandd rat rah gayee
