qadam zamīñ pe na the raah ham badalte kyā
havā bañdhī thī yahāñ piiTh par sambhalte kyā
phir us ke hāthoñ hameñ apnā qatl bhī thā qubūl
ki aa chuke the qarīb itne bach nikalte kyā
yahī samajh ke vahāñ se maiñ ho liyā ruḳhsat
vo chalte saath magar duur tak to chalte kyā
tamām shahr thā ik mom kā ajā.ib-ghar
chaḌhā jo din to ye manzar na phir pighalte kyā
vo āsmāñ the ki āñkheñ sameTtīñ kaise
vo ḳhvāb the ki mirī zindagī meñ Dhalte kyā
nibāhane kī use bhī thī aarzū to bahut
havā hī tez thī itnī charāġh jalte kyā
uThe aur uTh ke use jā sunāyā dukh apnā
ki saarī raat paḌe karvaTeñ badalte kyā
na ābrū-e-ta.alluq hī jab rahī 'bānī'
baġhair baat kiye ham vahāñ se Talte kyā
qadam zamin pe na the rah hum badalte kya
hawa bandhi thi yahan piTh par sambhalte kya
phir us ke hathon hamein apna qatl bhi tha qubul
ki aa chuke the qarib itne bach nikalte kya
yahi samajh ke wahan se main ho liya ruKHsat
wo chalte sath magar dur tak to chalte kya
tamam shahr tha ek mom ka ajaib-ghar
chaDha jo din to ye manzar na phir pighalte kya
wo aasman the ki aankhen sameTtin kaise
wo KHwab the ki meri zindagi mein Dhalte kya
nibahane ki use bhi thi aarzu to bahut
hawa hi tez thi itni charagh jalte kya
uThe aur uTh ke use ja sunaya dukh apna
ki sari raat paDe karwaTen badalte kya
na aabru-e-talluq hi jab rahi 'bani'
baghair baat kiye hum wahan se Talte kya
