ek jahaan-e-laa-yaani gharqaab huaa — Amir Hamza Saqib

ye gard hai miri aankhon mein kin zamaanon ki
nae libaas bhi ab to puraane lagte hain

tumhaari zaat havaala hai surkh-rui kaa
tumhaare zikr ko sab shart-e-fan banaate hain

teri khushbu tiraa paikar hai mire sheron mein
jaan yunhi nahin ye tarz-e-misaali meraa

meri duniyaa isi duniyaa mein kahin rahti hai
varna ye duniyaa kahaan husn-e-talab thi meraa

makaan ujaaD thaa aur laa-makaan ki khvaahish thi
so apne aap se baahar qayaam kar liyaa hai

khabar bhi hai tujhe is daftar-e-mohabbat ko
jalaane jalne mein kyaa kyaa zamaane lagte hain

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

aasmaan jhaank rahaa hai 'khaalid'
chaand kamre mein mire utraa hai

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

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

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
