ham talvaar uThaa nahin paae — Mohammad Mustahsan Jami

mujhe khabar hai kyaa kuchh hai buniyaadon mein
teri basti kaa pahlaa mazdur thaa main

meri khvaahish hai ki ji bhar ke use dekh to luun
hijr ke mumkina sadmaat se pahle pahle

main use yaksui se paDh hi nahin paayaa kabhi
zindagi ke lafz mein kitne jahaan aabaad the

ghurbat kaa ehsaan thaa ham par
ik thaali mein khaa sakte the

lafz aur aavaaz donon kho gae
mujh se haq chhinaa gayaa hai baat kaa

ik karb kaa mausam hai jo daaim hai abhi tak
ik hijr kaa qissa ki mukammal nahin hotaa
