bas isi ummid pe hotaa gayaa barbaad main — Aks Samastipuri

bik jaataa huun haathon-haath
had se ziyaada sastaa huun

yaar main itnaa bhukaa huun
dhokaa bhi khaa letaa huun

ek rishta jise main de na sakaa koi naam
ek rishta jise taa-umr nibhaae rakkhaa

kaise tum bhuul gae ho mujhe aasaani se
ishq mein kuchh bhi to aasaan nahin hotaa hai

tu sirf meri hai us kaa ghurur hai mujh ko
agar ye vahm meraa hai to koi baat nahin

thaa mujhe vahm-o-gumaan ki vo faqat meri hai
aur us ne bhi bharam meraa banaae rakkhaa

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

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

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

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

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge
