Jab Tak Safed Aandhi Ke Jhonke Chale Na The

Azhar Inayati

jab tak safed andhi ke jhonke chale na the

itne ghane daraḳhton se patte gire na the

iz.har par to pahle bhi pabandiyan na thiin

lekin baḌon ke samne ham bolte na the

un ke bhi apne ḳhvab the apni zaruraten

ham-sa.e ka magar vo gala kaTte na the

pahle bhi log milte the lekin ta.alluqat

angḌa.i ki tarah to kabhi TuTte na the

pakke gharon ne niind bhi ankhon ki chhin li

kachche gharon men raat ko ham jagte na the

rahte the dastanon ke mahaul men magar

kya log the ki jhuuT kabhi bolte na the

‘az.har’ vo maktabon ke paḌhe mo’atabar the log

baisakhiyon pe sirf sanad ki khaḌe na the
