dekho hamaari samt ki zinda hain ham abhi — Haneef Akhgar

puchhti rahti hai jo qaisar-o-kisraa kaa mizaaj
shaan ye khaak-nashinon mein kahaan se aai

hasin surat hamein hamesha hasin hi maalum kyuun na hoti
hasin andaaz-e-dil-navaazi hasin-tar naaz barhami kaa

kushta-e-zabt-e-fughaan naghma-e-be-saaz-o-sadaa
uf vo aansu jo lahu ban ke Tapaktaa hogaa

koi saaghar pe saaghar pi rahaa hai koi tishna hai
murattab is tarah aain-e-mai-khaana nahin hotaa

jo musaafir bhi tire kuche se guzraa hogaa
apni nazron ko bhi divaar samajhtaa hogaa

har taraf hain khaana-barbaadi ke manzar be-shumaar
kuchh Thikaana hai bhalaa is jazba-e-taamir kaa

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

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

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

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

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

main jis mein rah na sakaa ji-huzuriyon ke sabab
ye aadmi hai usi kaamyaab mausam kaa
