chothi surkhi

kal kay akhbar ki
ik chothi surkhi
police aur car chor ki dOR maiN
chOrahay per ik maasoom
dhO baitha jaan say haath

kal hee ki yeh baat hay
sar e shaam pee thee
chai saath ooskay
phir woh haadsa
aur aaj yeh baataiN
aanay walay kal kay lyay
likh raha hooN maiN

kal ki bhee kya baat hay
kal aa'aye gi koi aur khabar
koi aur jaan e munn
hoga kisi hadsay ka shikar
kyuN na abhee say ootha looN
haath yeh qal'm
maghfirat kay lyay
seena kobi kay lyay

kal aaj aur kal
zabaan e yaar e mun
aur yeh nazakataiN
kal ki bhee kya baat hay
na aaj ka hay na kal ka
