Jo Abhi Mera Hai Tere Sang Hona Chahiye

Jawed Manzar

jo abhi mera hai tere sang hona chahiye

chahta huun haath yuun bhi tang hona chahiye

bas yahi kuchh soch kar dil men tire main aa basa

koi is ghar men tira pasang hona chahiye

kab talak ye band kamre aur gali-kuchon ka ḳhauf

zindagi men koi to ahang hona chahiye

pahle phere men to duniya mujh se pichhe rah ga.i

pair men ab ke mire kuchh lang hona chahiye

koi maujon se yunhi aTkheliyan karte rahe

aur sahil par kisi ko tang hona chahiye

sang-dil laḌkon se majnun ko bachane ke liye

haath men tere bhi laila sang hona chahiye

titliyan ‘manzar’ laḌakpan men jo ham ko de ga.iin

apne hathon par vahi ab rang hona chahiye
