dost ahbaab se lene na sahaare jaanaa — Abdul Ahad Saaz

bol the divaanon ke jin se hosh vaalon ne
soch ke dhundlakon mein apnaa raasta paayaa

laa se laa kaa safar thaa to phir kis liye
har kham-e-raah se jaan ulajhti rahi

nazar to aate hain kamron mein chalte-phirte magar
ye ghar ke log na jaane kahaan gae hue hain

shaaeri talab apni shaaeri ataa us ki
hausle se kam maangaa zarf se sivaa paayaa

muflisi bhuuk ko shahvat se milaa deti hai
gandumi lams mein hai zaaiqa-e-naan-e-javin

pas-manzar mein 'fēd' hue jaate hain insaani kirdaar
focus mein rafta rafta shaitaan ubhartaa aataa hai

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

barseingi aaj rahmatein aamad hai yaar ki
naayaab hain ye ghaDiyaan tire intizaar ki

jo ghair the vo isi baat par hamaare hue
ki ham se dost bahut be-khabar hamaare hue

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

yaar bhi raah ki divaar samajhte hain mujhe
main samajhtaa thaa mire yaar samajhte hain mujhe
