Sar Pe Suraj Ho Magar Saya Na Ho Aisa Na Tha

Ata Abidi

sar pe suraj ho magar saaya na ho aisa na tha

pahle bhi tanha tha lekin is qadar tanha na tha

vo to ye kahiye gham-e-dauran ne rakh li aabru

varna dil ki baat thi kuchh khel bachchon ka na tha

bach ke tufan se nikal aaya to hairani hai kyuun

go safina Dubta tha hausla TuuTa na tha

aap aa.e to yaqin karna paḌa varna yahan

raat ko suraj kabhi aflak par nikla na tha

shahr-e-dilli a.ina-ḳhana hai lekin ai ‘ata’

jaal to ḳhush-fahmiyon ka aap ko bunna na tha
