maidaan e jung

dekhi hay kabhi yaadouN ki laRai
jahaan aap hON srif tamashbeen?

woh maaN ka muskurah ker bhainch laina
woh quaid ki taqreer "everybody is equal..."
woh darakht kay sa'aye maiN meh'v e intezar ik laRki
woh roz e eid khaandaan kay saath group photo
woh khafeef muskurahat lehrai jo ooskay labouN per
woh aakhri bosa maaN ki sard peshani per
woh pehli bar beti ka 'luv u dad' bolna
woh poo'r muhabbat nama jis ka intezar hee raha
woh choti choti ghalat fehmiaN, pahaR jo bun gaeeN
woh m'waqeh hath say jo phisal ga'aye, baa'is e azaab ho ga'aye
