Dasht Se Patthar uTha Kar Shahr Mein Lae Ho Kyon

Poet

dasht se patthar uTha kar shahr men laa.e ho kyon

ye lahu mangenge tum se ḳhud pe itra.e ho kyon

ḳhushk hai dil ka kanval sanson men gham ki aag hai

jab barasna hi nahin hai badalon chha.e ho kyon

mai ke saghar hain agar gham ko miTane ka ilaaj

ai na.e mausam ke phulo pi ke murjha.e ho kyon

ab to ḳhamoshi tumhari ḳhaar si chubhne lagi

chup hi rahna tha batao phir yahan aa.e ho kyon

shab ki maari bastiyon ke har dar-o-divar par

dhuup to suraj ki hai tum ḳhud pe itra.e ho kyon

haath men hai haath mausam mast-e-gul mahke hue

dekhne par mere phir tum mujh se sharma.e ho kyon

ye hain aisi vadiyan dariya bhi hain jin ke sarab

log hain pyase yahan ‘asrar’ tum aa.e ho kyon
