Sawaal

dil kuch yun behel jaata hai aaj kal
apne hi sawaal pe sambhal jaata hai aaj kal

mehboob ka na gam hai na raqeeb ki dastaan
rashk bhi rahm mae badal jaata hai aaj kal

mere salaam ka intezaar rehta tha jisko
voh nazar bachaye nikal jaata hai aaj kal

gayaer ko bhi galae laga ke kiya hai tasleem humne
apnon ko ghar bulaane mae “ishq” dehel jaata hai aaj kal
