qabz ke maare hue bimaar ko kar do khabar — Dilawar Figar

is kaa kyaa hogaa ye jo unvaan aadhaa rah gayaa
ye bhi lete jaaein jo saamaan aadhaa rah gayaa

main bhi thaa haazir bazm mein jab tu ne dekhaa hi nahin
main bhi uThaa kar chal diyaa bilkul nayaa juutaa tiraa

pakDi gai radif to fauran ye kah diyaa
likhnaa kabhi thaa aur main yahaan likh gayaa abhi

ek achchhaa-khaasaa mard zanaane mein ghus paDaa
goyaa ki ek chor khazaane mein ghus paDaa

ek shaadi to Thiik hai lekin
ek do tiin chaar had kar di

kyaa bataaun mein tumhein is shahr kaa jughraafiya
bambai hai ik ghazal gaD-baD hai jis kaa qaafiya

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

apne man mein Duub kar paa jaa suraagh-e-zindagi
tu agar meraa nahin bantaa na ban apnaa to ban

zindagi ke bahut qarib na jaa
faasla kuchh to apne dhyaan mein rakh

baDe qalaq ki baat hai ki tum ise na paDh sake
hamaari zindagi to ik khuli hui kitaab thi

zindagi tu bhi hamein vaise hi ik roz guzaar
jis tarah ham tujhe barson se guzaare hue hain

umr bhar kaun nibhaataa hai ta'alluq itnaa
ai miri jaan ke dushman tujhe allaah rakkhe
