gharib bhuuk ki Thokar se khuun khuun hue — Anwar Kaifi

ye to ho saktaa hai ki donon ki manzil ek ho
phir bhi us ke ham-safar hone ki farmaaish na kar

ye daur mohabbat kaa lahu chaaT rahaa hai
insaan kaa insaan galaa kaaT rahaa hai

dil se nikli hui har aah ki taasir mein aa
maang le rab se mujhe aur miri taqdir mein aa

jo kar rahe the zamaane se gumrahi kaa safar
unhin ke naam kiyaa haq ne bandagi kaa safar

miri qismat ki kashti bahr-e-gham mein Duub sakti thi
tiri taqdir se shaayad miri taqdir ubhri hai

rah-e-hayaat mein shaayad hi vo maqaam aae
ki naghma-haa-e-junun par sukut taari ho

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

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

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

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge
