agarche koi bhi andha nahin tha
agarche koī bhī andhā nahīñ thā
likhā dīvār kā paḌhtā nahīñ thā
kuchh aisī barf thī us kī nazar meñ
guzarne ke liye rasta nahīñ thā
tumhī ne kaun sī achchhā.ī kī hai
chalo maanā ki maiñ achchhā nahīñ thā
khulī āñkhoñ se saarī umr dekhā
ik aisā ḳhvāb jo apnā nahīñ thā
maiñ us kī anjuman meñ thā akelā
kisī ne bhī mujhe dekhā nahīñ thā
sahar ke vaqt kaise chhoḌ jaatā
tumhārī yaad thī sapnā nahīñ thā
khaḌī thī raat khiḌkī ke sirhāne
darīche meñ vo chāñd utrā nahīñ thā
diloñ meñ girne vaale ashk chuntā
kahīñ ik jauharī aisā nahīñ thā
kuchh aisī dhuup thī un ke saroñ par
ḳhudā jaise ġharīboñ kā nahīñ thā
abhī harfoñ meñ rañg aate kahāñ se
abhī maiñ ne use likkhā nahīñ thā
thī puurī shakl us kī yaad mujh ko
magar maiñ ne use dekhā nahīñ thā
barahna ḳhvāb the sūraj ke nīche
kisī ummīd kā pardā nahīñ thā
hai 'amjad' aaj tak vo shaḳhs dil meñ
ki jo us vaqt bhī merā nahīñ thā
agarche koi bhi andha nahin tha
likha diwar ka paDhta nahin tha
kuchh aisi barf thi us ki nazar mein
guzarne ke liye rasta nahin tha
tumhi ne kaun si achchhai ki hai
chalo mana ki main achchha nahin tha
khuli aankhon se sari umr dekha
ek aisa KHwab jo apna nahin tha
main us ki anjuman mein tha akela
kisi ne bhi mujhe dekha nahin tha
sahar ke waqt kaise chhoD jata
tumhaari yaad thi sapna nahin tha
khaDi thi raat khiDki ke sirhane
dariche mein wo chand utra nahin tha
dilon mein girne wale ashk chunta
kahin ek jauhari aisa nahin tha
kuchh aisi dhup thi un ke saron par
KHuda jaise gharibon ka nahin tha
abhi harfon mein rang aate kahan se
abhi main ne use likkha nahin tha
thi puri shakl us ki yaad mujh ko
magar main ne use dekha nahin tha
barahna KHwab the suraj ke niche
kisi ummid ka parda nahin tha
hai 'amjad' aaj tak wo shaKHs dil mein
ki jo us waqt bhi mera nahin tha
