Ye baran saal pahlay ki kahani hai
K jab sarso ki gandal tha badan mera
Hawa muj ko khilati thi
Mujay charkhay ki khokhar se hi gahri nind ati thi
Dahan main sheer madar ki mahak k akhri din thay
Jawani jhil milati thi
Meri ankhon meray hatho meray pero main bosay thay
Meri maan muskurati thi
Ye baran saal pahlay ki kahani hai
Main apnay ap main rahta tha jese phol main khushbu
Mujay ik naam ghar ki trah mitha tha ab bhi hai
Is ki shakrain chub main
Kahani lo barati thi
Ye baran saal pahlay ki kahani hai
Main hatho se gira harfe dua ban kar
Magar boso bhari shafqat tasali dhond lati thi
Na main sardo ki gandal tha
Na muj ko nind ati thi
Ajab c bay sbasi thi
Phir ik din bay gari muj ko meray ghar se nikal i
K jesay ankh se anso nikal ker phir nahi ata
Tujay to sab khabar ho gi
Mujay malk juno miras main day ker koi wapas plat aya
Wahan ki jagti ratain
Ser khama utarti nind ki khatain
Wo daftar main paray pather kleb se phot ti batain
Na main sardo ki gandal tha
Na ab charkhay ki khokhar thi k muj ko nind a jati
Pari muj ko dra jati
Ye bara roz pahalay ki kahani hai
Mujay gari ne station pay la phaynka
To mera shahar hi gum tha
Meri pahchan he gum thi
Meray dukh se bhara tanga gaya jab raylay bazar ki janib
Mera ghar bhi meray bachpan ki sorat
Gard guzran main kahin gum tha
Phir ik shahtot ki chao se pocha apnay baray main
Kisi saya kay nakshay ki sorat khul gaya muj per
Na is main mera bachpan tha
Na meray khana zado ki nishani thi
Phir ik dokan pay lat ki hoi tasveer se pocha
Tujay to sub khabar hogi
Yayan Abbas Tabish naam ka aik shakas rahata tha
Kahan hai wo
Na ba sarso ki gandal
Na wo charkhay ki khokhar
Magar ab band darwazay pay dundlay naam ki takhti
Meray gar ki nishani hai
Ye meray aaj k din ki kahani hai
