us raste par pichhe se itni aavaazein aaiin 'jamaal' — Jamal Ehsani

us ne baarish mein bhi khiDki khol ke dekhaa nahin
bhigne vaalon ko kal kyaa kyaa pareshaani hui

hazaar tarah ke the ranj pichhle mausam mein
par itnaa thaa ki koi saath rone vaalaa thaa

isi ik baat par hai ittifaaq-o-ikhtilaaf us se
use aaina aur mujh ko piyaala achchhaa lagtaa hai

jo dil ke taaq mein tu ne charaagh rakkhaa thaa
na puchh main ne use kis tarah sitaara kiyaa

chaaron jaanib rachi hui hai ashkon ki bu-baas
is raste se guzre honge qaafile hijrat vaale

vo log mere bahut pyaar karne vaale the
guzar gae hain jo mausam guzarne vaale the

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

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

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

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

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae
