vo yaqinan vali sifat hogaa — Mohammad Ali Sahil

meri aankhon mein hue raushan jo ashkon ke charaagh
un ke honTon par tabassum kaa diyaa jaltaa rahaa

duur rahti hain sadaa un se balaaein saahil
apne maan baap ki jo roz duaa lete hain

khaamushi teri miri jaan liye leti hai
apni tasvir se baahar tujhe aanaa hogaa

ham hain tahzib ke alam-bardaar
ham ko urdu zabaan aati hai

masale to zindagi mein roz aate hain magar
zindagi ke masalon kaa hal nikalnaa chaahiye

marte dam tak sab mujh ko insaan kahein
aisaa hi kirdaar miraa ho yaa-allaah

uThaa hi laayaa sabhi raaste vo kaandhon par
yaqin us pe na kartaa to main kidhar jaataa

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

nahin nahin main bahut khush rahaa huun tere baghair
yaqin kar ki ye haalat abhi abhi hui hai

idhar to tuul diyaa hai umiid ko us ne
udhar hayaat ataa ki hai mukhtasar mujh ko

sabr aa jaae is ki kyaa ummid
main vahi, dil vahi hai tu hai vahi

naqaab kahti hai main parda-e-qayaamat huun
agar yaqin na ho dekh lo uThaa ke mujhe
