ik-ik patthar jod ke

ik-ik patthar jod ke main ne jo diivaar banaaii hai
jhaankhuu us ke piichhe to rusvaa_ii hii rusvaa_ii hai

yun lagataa hai sote jaagate auron kaa mohataaj huun main
aankheen merii apanii hain par un mein niind paraa_ii hai

dekh rahe hain sab hairat se niile-niile paanii ko
puuchhe kaun samandar se tujh mein kitanii gahara_ii hai

sab kahate hain ik jannat utarii hai merii dharatii par
mai.n dil mein sochuun shaayad kam_zor merii biinaa_ii hai

baahar sahan mein pedon par kuchh jalate bujhate juganuu the
hairat hai phir ghar ke andar kis ne aag lagaa_ii hai

aaj huaa maaluum mujhe is shahar ke chand sayaanon se
apanii raah badalate rahanaa sabase badii daanaa_ii hai

tod gaye paimaan-e-vafaa is daur mein kaise kaise log
ye mat soch 'Qateel' ki bas ik yaar teraa harajaa_ii hai...........
