KHwab Dekhne Wali Aankhen Patthar Hongi Tab Sochenge

Iftikhar Arif

ḳhvab dekhne vaali ankhen patthar hongi tab sochenge

sundar komal dhyan titliyan be-par hongi tab sochenge

ras barsane vaale badal aur taraf kyuun uḌ jaate hain

hari-bhari shadab khetiyan banjar hongi tab sochenge

basti ki divar pe kis ne an-honi baten likh di hain

is anjane Dar ki baten ghar ghar hongi tab sochenge

mange ke phulon se kab tak rup-sarup ka maan baḌhega

apne angan ki mahkaren be-ghar hongi tab sochenge

biiti rut ki sab pahchanen bhuul ga.e to phir kya hoga

ga.e dinon ki yaden jab be-manzar hongi tab sochenge

aane vaale kal ka svagat kaise hoga kaun karega

jalte hue suraj ki kirnen sar par hongi tab sochenge
