Thokar kisi patthar se agar khaai hai main ne — Bismil Saeedi

husn bhi kambakht kab khaali hai soz-e-ishq se
shama bhi to raat bhar jalti hai parvaane ke saath

dohraai jaa sakegi na ab daastaan-e-ishq
kuchh vo kahin se bhuul gae hain kahin se ham

tum jab aate ho to jaane ke liye aate ho
ab jo aa kar tumhein jaanaa ho to aanaa bhi nahin

sukun nasib huaa ho kabhi jo tere baghair
khudaa kare ki mujhe tu kabhi nasib na ho

ro rahaa huun aaj main saare jahaan ke saamne
roegaa kal dekhnaa saaraa jahaan mere liye

kaabe mein musalmaan ko kah dete hain kaafir
but-khaane mein kaafir ko bhi kaafar nahin kahte

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

miri tamannaa hai ab ke tum phir milo to ji bhar ke muskuraaein
ki dekhnaa hai ye raushni kaa safar bahut der baa'd jaa kar

safar mein aise kai marhale bhi aate hain
har ek moD pe kuchh log chhuT jaate hain

yuun to maujud apne ghar mein hai
aadmi mustaqil safar mein hai

us musaafir ki naqaahat kaa Thikaana kyaa hai
sang-e-manzil jise divaar nazar aane lage

kisi ko ghar se nikalte hi mil gai manzil
koi hamaari tarah umr bhar safar mein rahaa
