ye intihaa-e-kaar-e-numu hai ki jaan-e-jaan — Kazim Rizvi

teri tarah zabaan ke kuchh tez ham bhi hain
par masala ye hai ki adab jaante hain ham

pahle honaa thaa aaina dil ko
aur phir chur-chur honaa thaa

us ke siyaah nain ki jaa kar nazar utaar
maare hasad ke chuur huiin surma-daaniyaan

shaayad vo is binaa pe hamein bakhsh de ki ham
kaafir bane rahe pa munaafiq nahin hue

chalo maanaa ki khvaabon mein miloge
magar tum bin kise niind aa rahi hai

log meri ghazlon mein tum ko DhunD lete hain
she'r-o-shaa'iri kab hai daastaan tumhaari hai

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

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

vahaan hamaaraa koi muntazir nahin phir bhi
hamein na rok ki ghar jaanaa chaahte hain ham

umr bhar kaun nibhaataa hai ta'alluq itnaa
ai miri jaan ke dushman tujhe allaah rakkhe

na jaane us ne khule aasmaan mein kyaa dekhaa
parinda phir se jahaan-e-qafas mein lauT aayaa

ji DhunDtaa hai phir vahi fursat ki raat din
baiThe rahein tasavvur-e-jaanaan kiye hue
