amiir shaal do-shaalon mein garm-e-raahat-o-aish — Imdad Ali Bahr

sau fasaad ek ishq mein uTThe
boyaa ik tukhm uge hazaar darakht

mire baghair na ik-dam use qaraar aataa
zaraa bhi zabt jo mujh be-qaraar mein hotaa

mire qatl par tum ne biiDaa uThaayaa
mire haath kaa paan khaayaa to hotaa

na mohabbat hai dilon mein na hayaa aankhon mein
ye sanam tu ne banaae hain khudaayaa kaise

ham na kahte the hansi achchhi nahin
aa gai aakhir rukaavaT dekhiye

khush raho yaar agar ham se ho bezaar bahut
dil agar apnaa salaamat hai to dildaar bahut

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

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

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

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe

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

kaho kyaa mehrbaan naa-mehrbaan taqdir hoti hai
kahaa maan ki duaaon mein baDi taasir hoti hai
