Today and I: Aaj aur main

Bistar par lete hue
Koi nazm soojhtee nahin
Zindagi ki haqeeqat se mehroom
Kahaani banti nahin

Uljhi hui zulfein khwaabon mein aati hai
Subah eik lat gaalon par chipak jaati hai
Khidki khulne par kal ki aandhi ka saamaan mil gaya
Khaali zameen thi aur hawaaon mein dhool phail gaya

Jab galiyaan hi andhee ho gayi
Koi dekhta kaise mujhe
Ghar ko dhoondne ki himmat na thi
Tau dastak dene lagee apni peishani pe

Dil dimaagh sab ghabraye hue they
Ke ab kya qusoor ki sazaa milegi
Unko reit ke mahal banane ki chaah nahin
Tau paani ki do-chaar chheenton ki main mezbaan ban gayi
