wo kaun tha raahi dar-o-deewaar se poochho.....

khanzar se karo baat.. na talwaar se poochho;
main qatl hua kaise..mere yaar se poochho!
farz apna maseehaa ne adaa kar diyaa lekin;
kis tarah kati raat ?..ye beemaar se poochho.
kuchh bhool huyee hai to sazaa bhi koi hogi;
sab kuchh main bataa dunga ..zaraa pyaar se poochho.
aankhon ne to chup rah ke bhi roodaad sunaa di;
kyon khul na sake ye lab-e-izhaar se poochho.
raunak hai mere ghar mein tasavvur hi se jiske;
wo kaun tha raahi dar-o-deewaar se poochho.....
