zaahid umid-e-rahmat-e-haq aur hajv-e-mai — 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

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

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

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

kaho kyaa mehrbaan naa-mehrbaan taqdir hoti hai
kahaa maan ki duaaon mein baDi taasir hoti hai
