samundar adaa-fahm thaa ruk gayaa — Irfan Siddiqi

tum se mile to khud se ziyaada
tum ko akelaa paayaa ham ne

bhuul jaaoge ki rahte the yahaan dusre log
kal phir aabaad kareinge ye makaan dusre log

sham-e-khema koi zanjir nahin ham-safaraan
jis ko jaanaa hai chalaa jaae ijaazat kaisi

khiraaj maang rahi hai vo shaah-baanu-e-shahr
so ham bhi hadiya-e-dast-e-talab guzaarte hain

hoshiyaari dil-e-naadaan bahut kartaa hai
ranj kam sahtaa hai elaan bahut kartaa hai

us ki aankhein hain ki ik Dubne vaalaa insaan
dusre Dubne vaale ko pukaare jaise
