hamaare naam ye paighaam thaa ki jal jaao — Annu Rizvi

apne haathon se zahr mat diije
ye kahin zindagi na ban jaae

main to niklaa thaa charaaghon ko jalaane ke liye
log kam-zarf the daaman ko bachaa kar bhaage

yahaan gharib ko sab kuchh to de diyaa us ne
zamin bichhaae hai aur aasmaan oDhe hai

dariyaa chaDhaa to gaanv ke gaanv bahaa gayaa
utraa to kitne shahr ke naqshe banaa gayaa

kabhi to baaDh aa ke apne saath sab bahaa gai
kabhi kisaan baarishon ki raah dekhtaa rahaa

hamaare us ke darmiyaan ye kaisaa faasla rahaa
use bhi sab khabar rahi hamein bhi sab pataa rahaa

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

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

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe

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

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai
