utar hi jaaegaa ik din khumaar gandum kaa — Azm Shakri

main ne ik shahr hamesha ke liye chhoD diyaa
lekin us shahr ko aaankhon mein basaa laayaa huun

aaj ki raat divaali hai diye raushan hain
aaj ki raat ye lagtaa hai main so saktaa huun

zakhm jo tum ne diyaa vo is liye rakkhaa haraa
zindagi mein kyaa bachegaa zakhm bhar jaane ke baad

vaqt-e-rukhsat aab-dida aap kyuun hain
jism se to jaan hamaari jaa rahi hai

yuun baar baar mujh ko sadaaein na dijiye
ab vo nahin rahaa huun koi dusraa huun main

aansuon se likh rahe hain bebasi ki daastaan
lag rahaa hai dard ki tasvir ban jaaeinge ham

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

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

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

kaho kyaa mehrbaan naa-mehrbaan taqdir hoti hai
kahaa maan ki duaaon mein baDi taasir hoti hai
