vo qayaamat thi ki reza reza ho ke uD gayaa — Abdullah Kamal

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

aao aaj ham donon apnaa apnaa ghar chun lein
tum navaah-e-dil le lo khitta-e-badan meraa

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

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

hasin khvaab ko sachchaa samajh rahaa hai koi
faqat gumaan ko duniyaa samajh rahaa hai koi
