Itni baatein hai man me aaj
Par zabaan pe kuch aate nahi
Mai shaant kaise reh loon
Ye yaadein dil se jaate nahi
Mai nahi chahta ke hum kuch bhule
Dard zyada ho to hum ro le
Magar kuch bhi na bhule
Pata hai kyu?
Aapne chap chore hai aise
Gum raaston ko more hai aise
Jo apne lekhan se sagar ki gehrayi maap le
Aapke shabd thode hai aise
Jo aapni baaton se sabka man behlati hai
Haan wo ‘safar jahan’ kehlati hai
Yaad hai mujhe wo din
Jab pehli baar maine sabko kuch sunaya tha
Logo ke taaliyon ke bich
Aapne meri nazmo me vishwas jataya tha
Jise bhoolun na kabhi ye wo kissa hai
Is bade se parivar ki aap ek khaas hissa hai
Ab jaun eliya ke misre acche nahi lagenge
Faiz ki baatein sacche nahi lagenge
Kyuki ab koi samjhaane wala nahi hoga
Mere sath sath padhne wala nahi hoga
Aaj shayad mai zyada na likh paun
Apne hal-e-dil dhang se pesh na kar paun
Bas itna kehna chahta hoon
Ye haar aapki nahi
Ye humari hai
Kehne do jo kehna hai in logon ko
Ye inki sadiyo purani bimaari hai
Inhein kya maloom ke aap kaun the
Sabhi ko jo apni muskurat se lubhaati hai
Haan wahi ‘safar jahan’ kehlati hai.
Yaad hai saifu ki wo shaam
Jab mai dar gaya tha, ghabraya gaya tha
Bas saamne aaya sirf ek hi naam
Aapne mujhse kaha tha
Itna mat socho, log tumhein sunege
Tumhari shabdo ke kayal honge
Aaj wo faiz ka wo misra yaad aata hai
Jo aap padha karte the
Aur Ye ek sawal hai jo yaad aata hai
“Ab jo bhi chaho chaan karo
Ab chahe kitne dosh dharo
Chaati to wahi hai ghav wahi
Ab tumhi kaho kya karna hai
Ye ghav kaise bharna hai”
Ye unlogon ke liye hai jo aapko jante nahi hai
Aur jo aap pehchante nahi hai
Hai wo ladki jo khud me muskaati hai
Shehar se door kisi basti me
Chidyon ke sath chehchahati hai
Haan wo ‘safar jahan’ kehlati hai.
