shaayad ki mar gayaa mire andar kaa aadmi — Khalid Mahmood

jise dekho chhupaa phirtaa hai 'khaalid'
jamaaat aa gai mevaat vaali

bachche meri ungli thaame dhire dhire chalte the
phir vo aage dauD gae main tanhaa pichhe chhuT gayaa

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe

shagufta baagh-e-sukhan hai hamin se ai 'saabir'
jahaan mein misl-e-nasim-e-bahaar ham bhi hain

tum ne kyuun dil mein jagah di hai buton ko 'saabir'
tum ne kyuun kaaba ko but-khaana banaa rakkhaa hai

barsaat tham chuki hai magar har shajar ke paas
itnaa to hai ki aap kaa daaman bhigo sake

azal se dil hai sajda mein tire abru ke masjid mein
uThaataa sar nahin ab tak namaazi us ko kahte hain

dil ko maaraa chashm ne abru ki talvaaron se aaj
kyuun bhiDaa thaa jaa ke ye hushiyaar mai-khvaaron se aaj
