raaste aur tavaazoa mein hai rabt-e-qalbi — Ameer Minai

phir baiThe baiThe vaada-e-vasl us ne kar liyaa
phir uTh khaDaa huaa vahi rog intizaar kaa

aafat to hai vo naaz bhi andaaz bhi lekin
martaa huun main jis par vo adaa aur hi kuchh hai

maani hain main ne saikaDon baatein tamaam umr
aaj aap ek baat miri maan jaaiye

vo dushmani se dekhte hain dekhte to hain
main shaad huun ki huun to kisi ki nigaah mein

khudaa ne nek surat di to sikho nek baatein bhi
bure hote ho achchhe ho ke ye kyaa bad-zabaani hai

kaun si jaa hai jahaan jalva-e-maashuq nahin
shauq-e-didaar agar hai to nazar paidaa kar

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

dil-e-haris hi apnaa na ho sakaa qaane
vagarna tere karam mein to kuchh kami na rahi

main badalte hue haalaat mein Dhal jaataa huun
dekhne vaale adaakaar samajhte hain mujhe

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai
