kaa aaiinaa na kaho

ye zindagii to hai rahamat ise sazaa na kaho

na jaane kaun sii majaburiyon kaa qaidii ho

vo saath chhoD gayaa hai to bevafaa na kaho

tamaam shahar ne nezon pe kyuuN uchhaalaa mujhe

ye ittefaaq thaa tum is ko haadasaa na kaho

ye aur baat ke dushman huaa hai aaj magar

vo meraa dost thaa kal tak use buraa na kaho

hamaare aib hamen ungaliyon pe ginvaao

hamaarii piiTh ke piichhe hamen buraa na kaho

main vaqiyaat kii zanjiir kaa nahiin qaayal

mujhe bhii apane gunaahon kaa silsilaa na kaho

ye shahar vo hai jahaaN raakshas bhii hai ‘Rahat’

har ek taraashe huye but ko devataa na kaho

Rahat Indori
