kaanTe se bhi nichoD li ghairon ne bu-e-gul — Aslam Kolsarii

'aslam' baDe vaqaar se degrē vasul ki
aur is ke baa'd shahr mein khvaancha lagaa liyaa

shahr mein aa kar paDhne vaale bhuul gae
kis ki maan ne kitnaa zevar bechaa thaa

eid kaa din hai so kamre mein paDaa huun 'aslam'
apne darvaaze ko baahar se muqaffal kar ke

hamaari jiit hui hai ki donon haare hain
bichhaD ke ham ne kai raat din guzaare hain

qarib aa ke bhi ik shakhs ho sakaa na miraa
yahi hai meri haqiqat yahi fasaana miraa

jab main us ke gaanv se baahar niklaa thaa
har raste ne meraa rasta rokaa thaa

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

yak qadam raah-e-dost hai 'daaud'
lekin afsos paa-e-bakht hai lang

ghussa aataa hai pyaar aataa hai
ghair ke ghar se yaar aataa hai

urdu mein baat kijiye urdu mein boliye
haq hai zabaan kaa pyaar kaa ras is mein gholiye

jo ghair the vo isi baat par hamaare hue
ki ham se dost bahut be-khabar hamaare hue

log logon se dosti kar ke
kitnaa saste mein bech dete hain
