aao aaj ham donon apnaa apnaa ghar chun lein — Abdullah Kamal

vo qayaamat thi ki reza reza ho ke uD gayaa
ai zamin varna kabhi ik aasmaan meraa bhi thaa

chamak de chaand ko ThanDak havaa ko dil ko umang
udaas qisse ko phir ek shaahzaada de

tum to ai khushbu havaao us se mil kar aa gaiin
ek ham the zakhm-e-tanhaai haraa karte rahe

main tujh ko jaagti aankhon se chhu sakun na kabhi
miri anaa kaa bharam rakh le mere khvaab mein aa

ik musalsal jang thi khud se ki ham zinda hain aaj
zindagi ham teraa haq yuun bhi adaa karte rahe

apne vajud se pare ab
koi bhi raasta nahin hai

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

'saif' andaaz-e-bayaan rang badal detaa hai
varna duniyaa mein koi baat nai baat nahin

badalte vaqt ne badle mizaaj bhi kaise
tiri adaa bhi gai meraa baankpan bhi gayaa

TuTegaa aap kaa dil khadsha hai ye mujhe
zinhaar mujh se nisbat rakhiye na aap bhi

lagtaa hai ki is dil mein koi qaid hai 'ashfaaq'
rone ki sadaa aati hai yaadon ke khanDar se

kaam ab koi na aaegaa bas ik dil ke sivaa
raaste band hain sab kucha-e-qaatil ke sivaa
