us ek lamhe mein ai dost saath saath hain ham — Mehar Ali

ye soch kar vujud faraamosh kar diyaa
khud se milaa to teri tamanna karungaa main

main nahin jaantaa kahaan huun main
in dinon khud se raabta hi nahin

ik 'umr tere saath chalaa bhi to kyaa milaa
ab sochtaa huun tujh se bichhaD kar hi dekh luun

zard se sabz hotaa jaataa hai
ik shajar intizaar se niklaa

mujh mein ab meri jagah baaqi nahin
main tiri maujudgi se bhar gayaa

anginat naqsh banaa leinge ye naqqaash magar
husn mahtaab kaa mahtaab mein rah jaaegaa

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

yaar bhi raah ki divaar samajhte hain mujhe
main samajhtaa thaa mire yaar samajhte hain mujhe

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

jo ghair the vo isi baat par hamaare hue
ki ham se dost bahut be-khabar hamaare hue

barseingi aaj rahmatein aamad hai yaar ki
naayaab hain ye ghaDiyaan tire intizaar ki
