Safed Chhadiyan

Ahmad Faraz

janam ka andha

jo soch aur sach ke raston par

kabhi kabhi koi khvab dekhe

to khvab men bhi

azaab dekhe

ye shahrah-e-hayat jis par

hazar-ha qafile ravan hain

sabhi ki ankhen

har ek ka dil

sabhi ke raste

sabhi ki manzil

isi hujum-e-kashan-kashan men

tamam chehron ki dastan men

na naam mera

na zaat meri

mira qabila
