use bechain kar jaaungaa main bhi — 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

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

ai dost main khaamosh kisi Dar se nahin thaa
qaail hi tiri baat kaa andar se nahin thaa

yaa to jo naa-fahm hain vo bolte hain in dinon
yaa jinhein khaamosh rahne ki sazaa maalum hai

jahaan lab ye chup hon nazar kah rahi ho
vahaan bhi tasavvur mein kuchh zindagi ho

andheraa itnaa nahin hai ki kuchh dikhaai na de
sukut aisaa nahin hai jo kuchh sunaai na de

nazar jhuk rahi hai khamoshi hai lab par
hayaa hai adaa hai ki an-ban hai kyaa hai
