bhuul baiThaa huun main zamaane ko — Asif Raza

ye dil mein vasvasa kyaa pal rahaa hai
tiraa milnaa bhi mujh ko khal rahaa hai

teraa meraa hai gumaan kaa rishta
tu hai meri tiri ijaad huun main

aansuon ko fuzul mat samjho
ye baDe qimti sahaare hain

ajnabi mujh se aa gale mil le
aaj ik dost yaad aae mujhe

jatan to khuub kiye us ne Taalne ke magar
main us ki bazm se us ke javaab tak na uThaa

ye miri bazm nahin hai lekin
dil lagaa hai to lagaa rahne do

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

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

ghulaami mein na kaam aati hain shamshirein na tadbirein
jo ho zauq-e-yaqin paidaa to kaT jaati hain zanjirein

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
