ek korey kaghaz per

Jub humen derd
sataaya karte they
Jub ghum se
maare maare phirte they
jub apne garebaan
chaak chaak rehtey they
jub tanha tanha
aahen bharte they
tab koii kaanon may
aa aa kar kehta tha
kuch haath nahi aane waala
tu khaali ghar may rehta tha
ek korey kaghaz per
lafzon ko zaaya nahi karte
lifafon may dil nahi rehte
mohabbat ko marz nahi kehte
derd nishaan they manzil ke
ek kasoti ulfat thi
Aansu tohfa they jazbon ka
meher-o-wafa ki shert hi
insaan ko kaamil karti thi
ye daur sabhi ko nahi milte
ye raaz sabhi per nahi khulte
