apne viraane kaa nuqsaan nahin chaahtaa main — Azhar Abbas

akelaa main hi nahin jaa rahaa huun basti se
ye raushni bhi mire saath jaane vaali hai

hansi mazaaq ki baatein yahin pe khatm huiin
ab is ke baa'd kahaani rulaane vaali hai

tu kahaani ke badalte hue manzar ko samajh
khuun rote hue kirdaar ki jaanib mat dekh

yuun to har ek shakhs kaa apnaa hi shor hai
lekin kisi se koi yahaan boltaa nahin

jo rukaavaT thi hamaari raah ki
raasta niklaa usi divaar se

mujhe bayaan kar rahaa thaa koi shakhs
main apni daastaan DhunDhtaa rahaa

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

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

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

kisi ke zakhm par chaahat se paTTi kaun baandhegaa
agar bahnein nahin hongi to raakhi kaun baandhegaa

kisi se ishq apnaa kyaa chhupaaein
mohabbat Tapki paDti hai nazar se

kin manzilon luTe hain mohabbat ke qaafile
insaan zamin pe aaj gharib-ul-vatan saa hai
