kaise hasti ke samundar kaa talaatum Thahre — Khalid Nadeem Budauni

titli bhaunre kaliyaan phuul
is ke sab divaane the

khud apni shai pe adhuraa hai ikhtiyaar mujhe
giraa to saktaa huun aansu uThaa nahin saktaa

yuun bhi aankhon se nikalne nahin detaa aansu
ashk-e-gham teraa tasavvur na bahaa le jaae

vo ek shakhs to patthar uchhaal kar chup hai
samundaron se abhi tak sadaaein aati hain

ab jo chaaho vo faisla kar lo
muflisi apne honT si aai

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

zindagi tu bhi hamein vaise hi ik roz guzaar
jis tarah ham tujhe barson se guzaare hue hain

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

zindagi ke bahut qarib na jaa
faasla kuchh to apne dhyaan mein rakh

baDe qalaq ki baat hai ki tum ise na paDh sake
hamaari zindagi to ik khuli hui kitaab thi

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