Motee Ahmad Mujtaba
mujhe zabaan zarurat thi ik sadaa ke liye
koi na thaa mire ahbaab mein vafaa ke liye
main tere hijr mein hi mar gayaa thaa meri jaan
ye zindagi main jiyaa huun faqat sazaa ke liye

mil kar dil jab bad-dil hote jaate hain
tab din kaafi mushkil hote jaate hain
aa jaataa hai ham ko jiinaa bhi lekin
ham marne ke qaabil hote jaate hain

likhtaa rahtaa huun main khumaar mein kyaa
