Tumhara Shahar

Tumhare shahar mein ab tum sa kuch nahi
Tum nahi ho to yun lagta hai ki goya
Iski raunak saraab thi tumhari parchhai ki
Baad-e-saba tumhari khushbu ki paikar thi
Raatein tumhari baahon se khush-gawar rhi
Ujaale tumhari chamakti aankho se raushan the

Tum nahi ho to shahar veeran jungle lagta hai
Be-rang nazaare, pheeke aasman, be-noor raatein
Chaandni mein wo sukoon bhari thandak nahi ab
Gard aasman mein sitaare dum tod chuke hain sab
Baam-e-falak par ab zard raushan seher nahi hoti
Shaame tumhari angdai’on par nahi dhaltin ab

Ab ki baar aana to wo ujaale leti aana jo tumhare
shaadi ke jode mein lag kar chale gaye the
Saath le aana apni baatein, qisse aur kahaniya
Aur sunana apne usi dilchasp andaaz mein
Jise sun kar main ek baar phir tum par mar mitun
Aur ye karkash duniya thodi behtar lagne lage
