Gubbaron

Ab mujhe wafa sikhane lage, who badtameez log,
Dil tod diya karte the, jo aadatan ghari ghari.
Kya kamzarf ho gaye hain, zamane ke shaks-o-aam,
Gubbaron ki tarah fool jaate hain, jo thodi hawa mili.
Yaadon mei jiski basaa karte the, usko hi bhula diya,
who jaata raha door aur tumne ek awaaz tak na di.
