insaan be-hisi se hai patthar banaa huaa — Afzal Minhas

zindagi ki zulmatein apne lahu mein rach gaiin
tab kahin jaa kar hamein aankhon ki binaai mili

sath-e-dariyaa par ubharne ki tamannaa hi nahin
arsh par pahunche hue hain jab se gahraai mili

raste mein koi peD jo mil jaae to baiThun
vo baar uThaayaa hai ki dikhne lage shaane

jaane ye hiddat chaman ko raas aae yaa nahin
aag jaisi kaifiyat hai khushbuon ki lahr mein

bikharte jism le kar tund tufaanon mein baiThe hain
koi zarre ki surat hai koi Tiile ki surat hai

dil ki masjid mein kabhi paDh le tahajjud ki namaaz
phir sahar ke vaqt honTon par duaa bhi aaegi
