shehr e dilli

Is shehr e be murawwat ka koi pechida mod tha shaayad
Meer o ghalib bhi phirte the, kisi aur zamaana shaayad

Ab jo dekhun to auraq e mussawir sa nahin koi
sirf ek boo e hawas hai jo dhulke khulega.. shaayad

Par kaun saa aayega woh abr e mehrbaan idhar se
badal degi har nek-jaan ki neeyat yaan hawaa shaayad

phir bhi is kooche ke ek kone mein sajaata hoon main bhi
chand tinke jinhe aur koi na aashiyaan samjha shaayad

apni roz o shab bhi guzarte hain haal-o-behaal idhar
maazoor e naadaan ne isi ko jeena jaana shaayad
