ye zard mausam kay Khushk pattay

ye zard mausam kay Khushk pattay
havaa jinhain lay gai uraakar
agar kabhii in ko dekh paao
to soch lenaa
kay in main har barg ke namuu main
ziyaan gayaa arq shaaKh-e-gul kaa
kabhii ye sar_sabz konpalain thein
kabhii ye shaadaab bhii rahe hain
khule huye hoonth ki tarah narm aur shaguftaa
bahut dinoon tak
ye sabz patte
havaa ke relo.n main bebasii se tarap chuke hain
magar ab ye Khushk ho rahe hain
magar ye ab Khushk ho chuke hain
agar kabhii is taraf se guzaro
to dekh lenaa
barahanaa shaaKhain havaa ke dil me.n garii hui hain
ye ab tumharay liye nahin hain
