ungliyon ke hunar se ai 'akmal' — Akmal Imaam

zindagi ke bahut qarib na jaa
faasla kuchh to apne dhyaan mein rakh

meraa saaya bhi baDh gayaa mujh se
is saliqe se ghaT gayaa huun main

aarzu Tiis karb tanhaai
khud mein kitnaa simaT gayaa huun main

nai tahqiq ne qatron se nikaale dariyaa
ham ne dekhaa hai ki zarron se zamaane nikle

har ek harf se jiine kaa fan numaayaan ho
kuchh is tarah ki ibaarat nisaab mein likhiye

zehn mein ajnabi samton ke hain paikar lekin
dil ke aaine mein sab aks puraane nikle

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

sabza o gul kahaan se aae hain
abr kyaa chiiz hai havaa kyaa hai

kuchh phulon ki khaatir bhi kuchh phulon kaa
sab se achchhaa rang churaanaa paDtaa hai

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

qaatil tiri gali bhi badaun se kam nahin
jis ke qadam qadam pe mazaar-e-shahid hai

sayyaad teraa ghar mujhe jannat sahi magar
jannat se bhi sivaa mujhe raahat chaman mein thi
