ashkon mein piro ke us ki yaadein — Hasan Abidi

dil ki dahliz pe jab shaam kaa saaya utraa
ufuq-e-dard se siine mein ujaalaa utraa

sab ummidein mire aashob-e-tamannaa tak thiin
bastiyaan ho gaiin gharqaab to dariyaa utraa

kuchh na kuchh to hotaa hai ik tire na hone se
varna aisi baaton par kaun haath maltaa hai

shahr-e-naa-pursaan mein kuchh apnaa pata miltaa nahin
baam-o-dar raushan hain lekin raasta miltaa nahin

duniyaa kahaan thi paas-e-viraasat ke zimn mein
ik diin thaa so us pe luTaae hue to hain

ai khudaa insaan ki taqsim-dar-taqsim dekh
paarsaaon devtaaon qaatilon ke darmiyaan

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

shaayad kisi ne yaad kiyaa hai hamein 'adaa'
kyon varna ashk maail-e-tufaan hai aaj phir

umr sayyaad ki guzri isi jaasusi mein
gul ko naama na kare murgh-e-giraftaar-e-ravaan

juute ke intikhaab ko masjid mein jab gae
vo jutiyaan paDin ki khudaa yaad aa gayaa

yaadon mein un ki ro-ro kar
takiye giile ho jaate hain

is hi buniyaad par kyuun na mil jaaein ham
aap tanhaa bahut ham akele bahut
