kam zaraa na hone di ek lafz ki hurmat — Ikram Mujeeb

is hasin manzar se dukh kai ubharne hain
dhuup jab utarni hai barf ke makaanon par

hijr ki masaafat mein saath tu rahaa har dam
duur ho gae tujh se jab tire qarin pahunche

kis qadar gunaahon ke murtakib hue hain ham
jo sukun luTtaa hai baar baar is ghar kaa

ek dard ki lazzat barqaraar rakhne ko
kuchh latif jazbon ki khuun se aabyaari ki

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

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

zindagi tu bhi hamein vaise hi ik roz guzaar
jis tarah ham tujhe barson se guzaare hue hain

umr bhar tujh ko dekhne par bhi
zauq-e-nazzaara kam nahin hotaa

zindagi kaa har ik gham uThaate hue
main sanbhalne lagaa laDkhaDaate hue

zulf-e-barham ki jab se shanaasaa hui
zindagi kaa chalan mujrimaana huaa
