maan lenaa hai zaruri jaanne se — Kamran Nafees

dil dhaDakne kaa sabab zindagi ho sakti hai
ye zaruri to nahin hai ki tiri yaad hi ho

kal dopahar ko saath rahaa thaa vo der tak
phir us ke baa'd shaam rahi shaam hi rahi

hamaare chaak-e-garebaan kaa taar thaa ye kabhi
ye jis pharere ko nikle hain aap lahraane

ek hi dar thaa gali mein vo bhi darvaaza huaa
jab se har aavaaz par be-kaar mein khulne lagaa

vo ik aavaaz thi manzil nahin thi
magar main us ki jaanib chal paDaa thaa

aa jaati hain kuchh khushiyaan andeshon mein
kuchh andeshe khushiyon mein aa jaate hain

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

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

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

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

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

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge
