shagufta lafz likkhe jaa rahe hain — Iftikhar Arif

main zindagi ki duaa maangne lagaa huun bahut
jo ho sake to duaaon ko be-asar kar de

hamin mein rahte hain vo log bhi ki jin ke sabab
zamin buland hui aasmaan ke hote hue

dayaar-e-nur mein tira-shabon kaa saathi ho
koi to ho jo miri vahshaton kaa saathi ho

main chup rahaa ki vazaahat se baat baDh jaati
hazaar sheva-e-husn-e-bayaan ke hote hue

subh savere ran paDnaa hai aur ghamsaan kaa ran
raaton raat chalaa jaae jis ko jaanaa hai

raas aane lagi duniyaa to kahaa dil ne ki jaa
ab tujhe dard ki daulat nahin milne vaali
