Bhagte Suraj Ko Pichhe chhoD Kar Jaenge Hum

Badiuzzaman Khawar

bhagte suraj ko pichhe chhoḌ kar ja.enge ham

shaam ke hote hi vapas apne ghar ja.enge ham

kaTne ko ek shab Thahre hain tere shahr men

kya bata.en sub.h hogi to kidhar ja.enge ham

dhuup men phulon sa murjha bhi ga.e to kya hua

shahr se honTon ke paimane to bhar ja.enge ham

aaj gardun ki bulandi napne men mahv hain

kal kisi gahre samundar men utar ja.enge ham

DhunDte khoya hua chehra kisi shishe men kyuun

jante gar ye ki saa.e se bhi Dar ja.enge ham

kuchh hamara haal bhi ‘ḳhavar’ hai kundan ki tarah

dukh ke sho.alon men jalenge to nikhar ja.enge ham
