hijrat mujh se lipaT gai hai — Farzana Naz

ik maasum parinda hai dil
un aankhon mein jaal hai saahab

ye tasavvur hi jaan levaa hai
vo kisi aur kaa hai meraa nahin

mujh pe aasaan ho gayaa thaa vo
vo bhi urdu mein baat kartaa thaa

ik hamaari sadaa thi is ban mein
lo ji khaamosh ho gae ham bhi

shahr mein ham saa bhi nahin koi
ik vahi be-misaal thoDi hai

hain udaasi ke aur bhi asbaab
mujh ko teraa malaal thoDi hai

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

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

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

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

dimaagh un ke tajassus mein jism ghar mein rahaa
main apne ghar hi mein rahte hue safar mein rahaa
