haae qismat january maangi to july mili — Mohammad Taha Khan

vahi hai ikhtilaaf-e-baahami ki anjuman ab to
faqat shaadi ke din us ne milaai haan mein haan meri

daur-e-jamhuri mein bangladesh jaanaa thaa tujhe
aksariyyat chhoD kar zaalim idhar paidaa huaa

is dafa bachcha samajh kar chhoDe detaa huun tujhe
maar Daalungaa agar baar-e-digar paidaa huaa

jaan-e-izraail ab nakhron kaa tere gham karun
yaa main tujh par sura-e-yaasin paDh kar dam karun

sabab is kaa jo puchhaa doctor-saahab ne farmaayaa
bahut aage gae baaqi jo hain tayyaar baiThe hain

laDi is ThaaT se mankuha-e-kaafir-bayaan meri
farishte likhte likhte chhoD bhaage daastaan meri

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

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

kaho kyaa mehrbaan naa-mehrbaan taqdir hoti hai
kahaa maan ki duaaon mein baDi taasir hoti hai

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe
