'shuur' tum ne khudaa jaane kyaa kiyaa hogaa — Anwar Shuoor

go mujhe ehsaas-e-tanhaai rahaa shiddat ke saath
kaaT di aadhi sadi ek ajnabi aurat ke saath

zamaane ke jhamelon se mujhe kyaa
miri jaan! main tumhaaraa aadmi huun

miri hayaat hai bas raat ke andhere tak
mujhe havaa se bachaae rakho savere tak

kabhi rotaa thaa us ko yaad kar ke
ab aksar be-sabab rone lagaa huun

divaar-e-zindaan ke pichhe
jurm-e-mohabbat mein baiThaa huun

aadmi ke liye ronaa hai baDi baat 'shuur'
hans to sakte hain sab insaan hansi mein kyaa hai

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

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

umr bhar kaun nibhaataa hai ta'alluq itnaa
ai miri jaan ke dushman tujhe allaah rakkhe

vahaan hamaaraa koi muntazir nahin phir bhi
hamein na rok ki ghar jaanaa chaahte hain ham

na jaane us ne khule aasmaan mein kyaa dekhaa
parinda phir se jahaan-e-qafas mein lauT aayaa

barsaat kaa baadal to divaana hai kyaa jaane
kis raah se bachnaa hai kis chhat ko bhigonaa hai
