abhi safar mein koi moD hi nahin aayaa — Akhtar Shumar

main to is vaaste chup huun ki tamaashaa na bane
tu samajhtaa hai mujhe tujh se gilaa kuchh bhi nahin

ab to haathon se lakirein bhi miTi jaati hain
us ko kho kar to mire paas rahaa kuchh bhi nahin

main ghar ko phunk rahaa thaa baDe yaqin ke saath
ki teri raah mein pahlaa qadam uThaanaa thaa

muddaton mein aaj dil ne faisla aakhir diyaa
khub-surat hi sahi lekin ye duniyaa jhuuT hai

vo muskuraa ke koi baat kar rahaa thaa 'shumaar'
aur us ke lafz bhi the chaandni mein bikhre hue

tu ne ek umr ke baa'd puchhaa hai haal-e-dil
vahi dard-o-gham vahi hasratein mire saath hain

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

barsaat kaa baadal to divaana hai kyaa jaane
kis raah se bachnaa hai kis chhat ko bhigonaa hai

miri tamannaa hai ab ke tum phir milo to ji bhar ke muskuraaein
ki dekhnaa hai ye raushni kaa safar bahut der baa'd jaa kar

safar mein aise kai marhale bhi aate hain
har ek moD pe kuchh log chhuT jaate hain

yuun to maujud apne ghar mein hai
aadmi mustaqil safar mein hai

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