Qaraar khoya jab nazar mili us ajnabi se Safar shuru hua ik dilkash tishnagi se Qaraar toota jab mudi woh bina kuch kahe Sulagti aag mein hum tanha hi khade rahe Gulzar ke kisi panne pe raqam woh kirdaar Sard kohre mein jalti cigarette ka woh khumaar Baseerat mein basi tasveer, nafas mein atka saaz Shatranj ki woh chaal, chhupa rakha tha har raaz Nishaana saadha dil pe, hua kamaal-e-vaar Kaampte labon ne bhi kabhi maanga tha sirf qaraar Qaraar ka talabgaar tha, mila fareb ka zehar Qaraar ki talaash mein ujad gaya ye shehar Qaraar lafz ban ke bas zabaan pe thehar gaya Qaraar chhin gaya toh har nazaara bikhar gaya

Woh surkh libaas, woh bheegi sadak ka mod Filmi tarz pe usne har ik riwaayat di tod Kaanch ke mahal ki tarah giri woh mukammal aas Us afsaane mein hum the, woh thi kisi aur ke paas Alfaazon ka saudagar bana main us chauraahe par Dastak di usne dil pe, phir nikal padi raah par Phone ki ghanti baji, awaaz mein tha ik khauf Manzar badla yun jaise badla ho poora waqt ka daur Phone ka woh aakhiri dial, recording mein bas siski Woh nasha tha aisa jaise kadwi koi whisky Suspense ki woh film, aakhiri scene hua fana Mujrim bhi woh nikli, aur wahi bani panaah Camera ka focus hata, bikhra hua tha manzar Memiixyz ki dhun pe dil mein utra ik khanjar Saazishein buni gayi thi jis naazuk muskaan se Jaan le gayi woh ladki bade hi itminaan se Saboot saare mita diye, koi gawaah na chhoda Us beraham ne mera guroor-o-sabr yun toda Dahshat mein doobi dhadkanein, har lamha bemisaal Mohabbat ke us khel mein nikla bura ahwaal

Woh chali gayi musaafir banke agli train se Hum qaid reh gaye us roohani se pain mein Shayad kisi scene mein woh mud ke dekhti mujhe Par us drama ka climax sirf rona tha mujhe Dastakein ab bhi hoti hain us band kapaat par Jahaan qatl hua ishq us khaali ghaat par Na koi paigaam aaya, na koi khat ka taar Zindagi bhar ki tadap ko woh keh gayi qaraar Saansein bhaari, nabz dheemi, film ka parda gira Uski aankhon ke jaal mein har musaafir ghira Qaraar shabd ki taaseer ab zehar ban chuki Kahaani khatam hui, par ye jalan na ruki

Qaraar ka talabgaar tha, mila fareb ka zehar Qaraar ki talaash mein ujad gaya ye shehar Qaraar lafz ban ke bas zabaan pe thehar gaya Qaraar chhin gaya toh har nazaara bikhar gaya
