Kabhi Makan Mein Kabhi Rahguzar Mein Rahte The

Khwaja Razi Haidar

kabhi makan men kabhi rahguzar men rahte the

ye roz-o-shab to hamesha nazar men rahte the

hava ki raah men uḌti thi zindagi apni

misal-e-mauj kabhi ham bhanvar men rahte the

mohabbaton men bahut dil dhaḌakta rahta tha

ajiib log dil-e-mo’tabar men rahte the

hamen bhi shauq tha kuchh titliyan pakaḌne ka

tamam rang magar chashm-e-tar men rahte the

ḳhizan se pahle yahan ka ajiib mausam tha

samar ki tarah parinde shajar men rahte the

gurez-pa.i ka shikva karen to kis se karen

safar men rah ke bhi ham log ghar men rahte the

hava ke saath zamana badal gaya hai ‘razi’

hamin the vo jo kabhi is nazar men rahte the
