Shahbaz Khwaja

ik aisa vaqt bhi sahra men aane vaala hai
ki rasta yahan dariya banane vaala hai

kisi ne dekh liya tha jo saath chalte hue
pahunch ga.i hai kahan jaane baat chalte hue

yuun to mumkin nahin dushman mire sar par pahunche
pahre-daron men koi aankh jhapak jaata hai

kitne gulshan ki saje the mire iqrar ke naam
kitne khanjar ki miri ek nahin par chamke

mata-e-jan hain miri umr bhar ka hasil hain
vo chand lamhe tire qurb men guzare hue

safar ka ek naya silsila banana hai
ab asman talak rasta banana hai

yuun to mumkin nahin dushman mire sar par pahunche
pahre-daaron mein koi aankh jhapak jaataa hai

mataa-e-jaan hain miri umr bhar kaa haasil hain
vo chand lamhe tire qurb mein guzaare hue

safar kaa ek nayaa silsila banaanaa hai
ab aasmaan talak raasta banaanaa hai

mujhe ye zid hai kabhi chaand ko asiir karun
so ab ke jhiil mein ik daaera banaanaa hai

vo ek tu ki tire gham mein ik jahaan roe
vo ek main ki miraa koi rone vaalaa nahin

ik aisaa vaqt bhi sahraa mein aane vaalaa hai
ki raasta yahaan dariyaa banaane vaalaa hai
