ye aab-o-taab isi marhale pe khatm nahin — Ghulam Husain Sajid

mataa-e-barg-o-samar vahi hai shabaahat-e-rang-o-bu vahi hai
khulaa ki is baar bhi chaman par giraft-e-dast-e-numu vahi hai

ek khvaahish hai jo shaayad umr bhar puuri na ho
ek sapne se hamesha pyaar karnaa hai mujhe

is andhere mein charaagh-e-khvaab ki khvaahish nahin
ye bhi kyaa kam hai ki thoDi der so jaataa huun main

rukaa huun kis ke vahm mein mire gumaan mein nahin
charaagh jal rahaa hai aur koi makaan mein nahin

ham musaafir hain gard-e-safar hain magar ai shab-e-hijr ham koi bachche nahin
jo abhi aansuon mein nahaa kar gae aur abhi muskuraate palaT aaeinge

kisi ki yaad se dil kaa andheraa aur baDhtaa hai
ye ghar mere sulagne se munavvar ho nahin saktaa
