baalaa-khaane se chikh uThti thi — Aqeel Abbas

jaane is vaqt kahaan phone paDaa ho us kaa
jaane is vaqt vo kis shakhs ki aaghosh mein ho

likhungaa main resign kar rahaa huun

safar nigal gae ham ko vagarna ham ne bhi
kahin pahunch ke kisi ko gale lagaanaa thaa

lams-e-husn-e-'ajib ki khvaahish
sar uThaati thi maar di main ne
