Koi Bhi Rasm Ho Kuchh Ho Bahana Hota Tha

koi bhi rasm ho kuchh ho bahana hota tha

na jaane kya tha ki milna milana hota tha

kisi se milte agar dil se ho ke milte the

ajiib log the kaisa zamana hota tha

vo laḌ-jhagaḌ ke bhi ik dusre pe marte the

ye sab to tha hi magar ana-jana hota tha

koi bhi toḌ nahin ahd-e-yad-e-mazi ka

hazar gham the magar muskurana hota tha

ye tarbiyat thi gharon men har ek beTi ko

kisi bhi haal men ho ghar bachana hota tha

varaq varaq the kitabon ke mo’atabar itne

har ek lafz ko dil men basana hota tha

agar tha ishq to is men bhi aisi shiddat thi

bhanvar men aise hi bas kuud jaana hota tha
