Baat Suraj Ki Koi Aaj Bani Hai Ki Nahin

baat suraj ki koi aaj bani hai ki nahin

vo jo ik raat musalsal thi kaTi hai ki nahin

tere hathon men to a.ina vahi hai ki jo tha

sochta huun mira chehra bhi vahi hai ki nahin

mujh ko Takra ke ba-har-hal bikharna tha magar

vo jo divar si haa.il thi giri hai ki nahin

us ka chehra hai ki mahtab vo ankhen hain ki jhiil

baat us baat se aage bhi chali hai ki nahin

apne pahlu men humakte hue saa.e na saja

kya ḳhabar un se ye milne ki ghaḌi hai ki nahin

habs chehron pe to sadiyon se musallat hai magar

koi andhi bhi kisi dil men uThi hai ki nahin

puchhta phirta huun main bhagti kirnon se ‘rashid’

us bhare shahr men apna bhi koi hai ki nahin
