koi dast-e-masihaai karam-andaaz hone tak — Jamal Abbas Fahmi

sar ko neza nasib hotaa hai
sarfaraazi yunhi nahin milti

dosti ik din dushman se ho sakti hai
soch ke ye laDne kaa iraada chhoD diyaa

jab khatm hui dil se isaar ki gunjaaish
aangan mein nikal aai divaar ki gunjaaish

tujh se milne kaa bahaana to koi chaahiye thaa
ham ne vo ek bahaana kabhi DhunDaa hi nahin

koi to aisaa ho jis se main dil ki baat karun
so apne aap se hi baat kartaa rahtaa huun

Thukraa ke chale aae khuddaar tabiat hai
ham un ki inaayat ko khairaat samajhte hain

na tum hosh mein ho na ham hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein vahin baat hogi

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

har TuuTe hue dil ki Dhaaras hai tiraa vaada
juDte hain isi mai se darke hue paimaane

naale hain dilsitaan to phir aahein hain barchhiyaan to phir
ham to khamosh baiThe the aap ne kyuun sataa diyaa

himmat kaa zaahidon ki saraasar qusur thaa
mai-khaana khaanqaah se aisaa na duur thaa

ek aisi bhi tajalli aaj mai-khaane mein hai
lutf piine mein nahin hai balki kho jaane mein hai
