Ishrat Afreen
yunhi kisi ke dhyan men apne aap men gaati do-pahren
narm gulabi jaḌon vaali baal sukhati do-pahren
saare ghar men shaam Dhale tak khel vo dhuup aur chhanv ka
lappe patte kachche angan men loT lagati do-pahren
jivan-Dor ke pichhe hairan bhagti Toli bachchon ki
galiyon galiyon nange paanv dhuul uḌati do-pahren
sargoshi karte parde kunDi khaTkata naT-khaT din
dabe dabe qadmon se tapti chhat par jaati do-pahren
kamre men hairan khaḌe a.ina jaise hanste din
ḳhud se laḌ kar gaurayya si shor machati do-pahren
vahi muzafaton ke bhed bhare sannaTon vaale ghar
guḌiyon ke lab si kar un ka byaah rachati do-pahren
khiḌki ke TuuTe shishon par ek kahani likhti hain
manDhe hue piile kaghaz se chhan kar aati do-pahren
niim tale vo kachche dhage rangti hui purani yaad
ghera Daale chhoTi chhoTi haath baTati do-pahren
phaTi-purani kathri oḌhe dhuup senkte buḌhe din
peshani tak pallu khinche chilam banati do-pahren
paani ki taqsim ke pichhe jalte khet sulagte ghar
aur kheton ki zard munDeron par kumlati do-pahren
purva.i se laḌte kitne varaq purani yadon ke
saughaton ke sanduqon ko dhuup dikhati do-pahren
dukhti ankhen zaḳhmi poren uljhe dhagon jaise din
badal jaisi oḌhniyon par phuul khilati do-pahren
oḌhniyon ke uḌte badal rangon ke bazaron men
chuḌi ki dukanon se vo hamen bulati do-pahren
sunte hain ab un galiyon men phuul sharare khilte hain
ḳhuun ki holi khel rahi hain rang nahati do-pahren
ye to mere ḳhvab nahin hain ye to mera shahr nahin
kis janib se aa nikli hain ye gahnati do-pahren
