isi ummid par to kaaT liin ye mushkilein ham ne — Khushbir Singh Shaad

bhanvar jab bhi kisi majbur kashti ko Dubotaa hai
to apni bebasi par duur se saahil taDaptaa hai

ye teraa taaj nahin hai hamaari pagDi hai
ye sar ke saath hi utregi sar kaa hissa hai

'shaad' itni baDh gai hain mere dil ki vahshatein
ab junun mein dasht aur ghar ek jaise ho gae

yahi qatre banaate hain kabhi to ghaas par moti
kabhi shabnam ko ye simaab mein tabdil karte hain

rafta rafta sab tasvirein dhundli hone lagti hain
kitne chehre ek puraane album mein mar jaate hain

ab andheron mein jo ham khauf-zada baiThe hain
kyaa kahein khud hi charaaghon ko bujhaa baiThe hain

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

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

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

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

ghulaami mein na kaam aati hain shamshirein na tadbirein
jo ho zauq-e-yaqin paidaa to kaT jaati hain zanjirein
