lakirein khinch rahe hain sabhi zaminon par — Moid Rasheedi

itnaa aasaan nahin lafzon ko ghazal kar lenaa
shor ko sher banaane mein jigar lagtaa hai

bichhaDte vaqt kahnaa thaa bahut kuchh
main kyaa kahtaa judaa hone se pahle

ab eatibaar nahin meri jaan kisi kaa nahin
charaagh sab ke liye hai dhuaan kisi kaa nahin

mujh ko paane ki tamanna mein vo gharqaab huaa
main ne saahil ki tamanna mein use khoyaa hai

bichhaD gai thi vahi shai jo meri thi hi nahin
jo mere the hi nahin vo judaa hue bhi to kyaa

havas ki dhuup mein phailaa hai shor-e-khalq-e-khudaa
sunaa kisi ne nahin bastiyon mein girya-e-khaak

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

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

ghulaami mein na kaam aati hain shamshirein na tadbirein
jo ho zauq-e-yaqin paidaa to kaT jaati hain zanjirein

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

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

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