Bangalore Poem: 9PM

Yeh sheher so gaya
Raahein ruk gayi
Chalte chalte kahin
Manzilein mit gayi

Kahan gaye musafir
Parchaiyaan chhup gayi
Veeran hai manzar
Ghubaar hai basti

Yaadon ka lamba safar
Kis qadar hoga basar
Soona hai yeh caravan
Saraab hai humsafar

Dard ke sholon par
Bhar aaye abr aasmaani
Kadmon se bujh rahi hai
Khwabon ki rangeen ravani

Aadmi ko nahi
Aadmi ki khabar
Aise gard mausam mein
Insaan mukhtasar
