pari
bachpane kī yādoñ meñ
an-ginat fasāne haiñ
pattharoñ ke logoñ kā
ik shahr tilismātī
phir vo ek shahzādī
jis kī āñkheñ hiire sī
baal the sunahre se
aur vo qaaf kī pariyāñ
vo sabhī fasāne the
ham bhī dāstānoñ meñ
kāġhazī paroñ ke saath
ḳhushbūoñ kī vaadī meñ
ajnabī jazīroñ par
ḳhvāb ban ke uḌte the
vo parī ḳhayāloñ kī
koh-e-qāf kī guḌiyā
pattharoñ kī bastī meñ
mere ghar ke āñgan meñ
ek din utar aa.ī
us ne bhole-pan se jab
muskurā ke dekhā to
pattharoñ ke logoñ meñ
ruuh sī utar aa.ī
zindagī palaT aa.ī
bachpane ki yaadon mein
an-ginat fasane hain
pattharon ke logon ka
ek shahr tilismati
phir wo ek shahzadi
jis ki aankhen hire si
baal the sunahre se
aur wo qaf ki pariyan
wo sabhi fasane the
hum bhi dastanon mein
kaghazi paron ke sath
KHushbuon ki wadi mein
ajnabi jaziron par
KHwab ban ke uDte the
wo pari KHayalon ki
koh-e-qaf ki guDiya
pattharon ki basti mein
mere ghar ke aangan mein
ek din utar aai
us ne bhole-pan se jab
muskura ke dekha to
pattharon ke logon mein
ruh si utar aai
zindagi palaT aai
