Udhar idhar jaane' kidhar

Udhar idhar jaane' kidhar,
Main kisi uljhan mein padh gaya.

Jaa raha tha udhar,
Par idhar kisi ke' khayal mein kho gaya.

Khayal ko koi haadsa samajh,
Main yoonhi udhar chala gaya.

Ek-a-ek idhar se' jaise' koi pukar raha ho,
Udhar se' iss vehem mein jaise' kho gaya.

Waqt tha shaam ka,
Mahaul tha tanhai ka,
Magar udhar idhar ki soch mein jaane' kaise' dooob gaya?

Udhar se' jo idhar kisi ka khayal aaya tha,
Woh toh mera koi guzra hua alam tha,
Beeta hua koi haseen khwab tha.

Aur udhar main ise' haqiqat samajh raha tha,
Naa jaane' yeh kamaal mujhse' kyon aur kaise' ho gaya?
