tiri talaash mein niklaa jo bu-e-gul ki tarah — Haneef Najmi

mili na ham ko shahaadat to kyaa ye kyaa kam hai
ki saari 'umr rah-e-karbalaa pe chalte rahe

tire gham ne 'ataa ki hai 'ajab paakizgi mujh ko
main rotaa huun to aankhon se miri zamzam nikaltaa hai

hai dida-var to ek nazar mein parakh mujhe
laazim nahin kisi ko kai baar dekhnaa

bhalaa vo khaak samjheinge khudaa kyaa hai khudi kyaa hai
jo ab tak ye nahin samjhe maqaam-e-aadmi kyaa hai

bisaat-e-khaak par behad qad-aavar lag rahe the jo
bulandi par pahunch kar vo bahut chhoTe nazar aae

shaa'iri kyaa hai miri jaan tujhe maa'lum nahin
ek tohmat hai jo mujh par bhi lagaa di gai hai

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

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

ai chaman vaalo chaman mein yuun guzaaraa chaahiye
baaghbaan bhi khush rahe raazi rahe sayyaad bhi

vo gulaabi baadalon mein ek niili jhiil si
hosh qaaem kaise rahte thaa hi kuchh aisaa libaas

charaag chaand shafaq shaam phuul jhiil sabaa
churaain sab ne hi kuchh kuchh shabaahatein teri
