main ek ret kaa paikar thaa aur bikhar bhi gayaa — Aslam Mahmood

paanv us ke bhi nahin uThte mire ghar ki taraf
aur ab ke raasta badlaa huaa meraa bhi hai

tegh-e-nafas ko bahut naaz thaa raftaar par
ho gai aakhir mire khuun mein nahaa kar khamosh

guzarte jaa rahe hain qaafile tu hi zaraa ruk jaa
ghubaar-e-raah tere saath chalnaa chaahtaa huun main

dekh aa kar ki tire hijr mein bhi zinda hain
tujh se bichhDe the to lagtaa thaa ki mar jaaeinge

tere kuche ki havaa puchhe hai ab ham se
naam kyaa hai kyaa nasab hai ham kahaan ke hain

vo dard huun koi chaara nahin hai jis kaa kahin
vo zakhm huun ki hai dushvaar indimaal miraa

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

hasin khvaab ko sachchaa samajh rahaa hai koi
faqat gumaan ko duniyaa samajh rahaa hai koi

muddat ke baad khvaab mein aayaa thaa meraa baap
aur us ne mujh se itnaa kahaa khush rahaa karo

rahaa khvaab mein un se shab bhar visaal
mire bakht jaage main soyaa kiyaa

khalaa mein girvi rakkhaa apne saare khvaabon ko
aur is zamin pe chhoTaa saa ghar liyaa main ne

bikhar ke ret hue hain vo khvaab dekhe hain
miri nigaah ne kitne saraab dekhe hain
