Sher on Travel

raat thī jab tumhārā shahr aayā

phir bhī khiḌkī to maiñ ne khol hī lī

raat thi jab tumhaara shahr aaya

phir bhi khiDki to main ne khol hi li

sub.h-e-kāzib kī havā meñ dard thā kitnā 'munīr'

rail kī siiTī bajī to dil lahū se bhar gayā

subh-e-kazib ki hawa mein dard tha kitna 'munir'

rail ki siTi baji to dil lahu se bhar gaya

savārī sirf ik utrī hai aur maiñ

bharī gaaḌī meñ tanhā rah gayā huuñ

sawari sirf ek utri hai aur main

bhari gaDi mein tanha rah gaya hun

dostī kī chaltī gaaḌī se utar jaate haiñ log

aur apnā muñh bhī aage kī taraf rakhte nahīñ

dosti ki chalti gaDi se utar jate hain log

aur apna munh bhi aage ki taraf rakhte nahin

bus kā safar thā zindagī jis meñ sharīk tū bhī thā

jaane kab aañkh lag ga.ī jaane tū kab utar gayā

bus ka safar tha zindagi jis mein sharik tu bhi tha

jaane kab aankh lag gai jaane tu kab utar gaya

vāpsī par dūsrī bus meñ use dekhā gayā

saath vaalī seat par thā vo mirī jaate hue

wapsi par dusri bus mein use dekha gaya

sath wali seat par tha wo meri jate hue

karnā hai safar mujh ko isī bus se laTak kar

jis shahr bhī jaa.e mirī taqdīr bhaTak kar

karna hai safar mujh ko isi bus se laTak kar

jis shahr bhi jae meri taqdir bhaTak kar
