Puchhate Ho To Suno Kaise Basar Hoti Hai

Meena Kumari Naaz…

Puchhate ho to suno kaise basar hoti hai
Raat khairaat ki, sadqe ki sahar hoti hai

Saans bharne ko to jeenaa nahin kahte yaa rab
Dil hi dukhta hai na ab aasteen tar hoti hai

Jaise jaagi hui aankhon mein chubhen kaanch ke khvaab
Raat is tarah deewaanon ki basar hoti hai

Gham hi dushman hai mera gham hi ko dil dhundhta hai
Ek lamhe ki judaai bhi agar hoti hai

Ek markaz ki talaash ek bhatakti khushbu
Kabhi manzil kabhi tamhid-e-safar hoti hai
