khud-ba-khud apnaa janaaza hai ravaan — Khwaja Mohammad Wazir

yaar tanhaa ghar mein hai afsos lekin ham nahin
huur to hai gulshan-e-firdaus mein aadam nahin

phir vahi ham the vahi tum the mohabbat the vahi
sulh kar lete agar aankhein laDaane ke liye

yuun phir rahe hain jaise koi baat hi nahin
aaluda mere khuun se daamaan kiye hue

silsila rakhtaa hai meraa kufr kuchh islaam se
hain kai tasbih ke daane miri zunnaar mein

haath dikhlaa ke ye bolaa vo musalmaan-zaada
ho gayaa dast-e-nigar ab to barahman apnaa

sar miraa kaaT ke pachhtaaiyegaa
kis ki phir jhuTi qasam khaaiyegaa

apni anaa ki aaj bhi taskin ham ne ki
ji bhar ke us ke husn ki tauhin ham ne ki

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

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

zindagi main bhi chalungaa tire pichhe pichhe
tu mire dost kaa naqsh-e-kaf-e-paa ho jaanaa

vo kuchh muskuraanaa vo kuchh jheinp jaanaa
javaani adaaein sikhaati hain kyaa kyaa
