kuchh log
jo mere dil ko achchhe lagate the
umron ke rele mein aae
aur ja bhee chuke
kuchh dhandon mein masaroof hue
kuchh chooha-daud mein jeete gae
kuchh haar gae
kuchh qatl hue
kuchh badhatee bheed mein
apane-aap se door hue
kuchh toot gae kuchh doob gae
mujh par ye khauf ab chhaaya hai
main kis se milane jaoonga
main kis ko paas bulaoonga
aandhee hai, garm hava hai, aag barasatee hai
kuchh der huee
ik soorat, shabanam see soorat
is tapatee raah se guzaree thee
do bachche ped ke patton mein chhup kar baithe the
hansate shor machaate the
ik dost puraana
barason baad mila mujh ko
us jalate din kee
subh kuchh aisee raushan thee
jab baad-e-saba vaarafta-rau
khushabuon, nagmon, nanhee-munnee baaton ka
andaaz lie aangan mein chalee
main zinda hoon
ye soch ke khush ho jaata hoon
vo thodee der to mere paas se guzaree thee
vo mere dil mein utaree thee
is be-maharam se mausam mein
shaayad vo kal bhee aaegee
shaayad vo kal bhee meree raah se guzaregee
