har qadam pe naakaami har qadam pe mahrumi — Ameer Qazalbash

sukut-e-shab mein dar-e-dil pe ek dastak thi
bikhar gai tiri yaadon ki kahkashaan mujh se

honaa paDaa hai khugar-e-gham bhi khushi ki khair
vo mujh pe mehrbaan hain magar be-rukhi ke saath

apne hamraah khud chalaa karnaa
kaun aaegaa mat rukaa karnaa

muztarib hain maujein kyuun uTh rahe hain tufaan kyuun
kyaa kisi safine ko aarzu-e-saahil hai

giraa diyaa hai to saahil pe intizaar na kar
agar vo Duub gayaa hai to duur niklegaa

main ne kyuun tark-e-taalluq ki jasaarat ki hai
tum agar ghaur karoge to pashimaan hoge

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

kaabe ko jaataa kis liye hindostaan se main
kis but mein shahr-e-hind ke shaan-e-khudaa na thi

dekhe na mujhe kyunkar az-chashm-e-hiqaarat-u
vo sarv-e-javaan yaaro man-faakhta-e-piram

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost

baat karnaa pyaar ki aasaan se aasaan hai
ishq karnaa karte rahnaa hai kaThin se bhi kaThin
