nikal aayaa huun aage us jagah se — Azhar Adeeb

is liye main ne muhaafiz nahin rakkhe apne
mire dushman mire is jism se baahar kam hain

ai shahr-e-sitam chhoD ke jaate hue logo
ab raah mein koi bhi madina nahin aataa

usi ne sab se pahle haar maani
vahi sab se dilaavar lag rahaa thaa

der lagti hai bahut lauT ke aate aate
aur vo itne mein hamein bhuul chukaa hotaa hai

ham ne ghar ki salaamti ke liye
khud ko ghar se nikaal rakkhaa hai

hamaare naam ki takhti bhi un pe lag na saki
lahu mein gundh ke miTTi jo ghar banaae gae

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

apni anaa ki aaj bhi taskin ham ne ki
ji bhar ke us ke husn ki tauhin ham ne ki

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

jab talak shisha rahaa main baar-haa toDaa gayaa
ban gayaa patthar to sab ne devtaa maanaa mujhe

kuchh phulon ki khaatir bhi kuchh phulon kaa
sab se achchhaa rang churaanaa paDtaa hai

ghurur bhi jo karun main to aajizi ho jaae
khudi mein lutf vo aae ki be-khudi ho jaae
