I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun

Nazm

palut ker jab tum aao gae
in weeran rastoN per
bhatakta mujhko pao gae

main ashiq saraaboN ka
kya tum sung meray chal ker
dhoka phir say khao gae?

meri aankhain hai wo sager
jis ki pyaas nahee bhujti
kya tum doob ker in main
ubharnaa phir say chaho gae?

palut ker jab tum aao gae
in weeran raston per
bhatakta mujhko pao gae

mera paiker hai kaantoN saa
kya tum phir mujhay choo-ker
ashkoN maiN nahoa gae
dhoka phir say khao gae?
