un se maayus-e-iltifaat nahin — Naseer Arzoo

ab na chaaheinge kisi aur ko taslim magar
faaeda kyaa hai mire sar ki qasam khaane se

ishq ki azmatein bajaa lekin
ishq hi maqsad-e-hayaat nahin

jigar mein dard to hai dil mein iztiraab to hai
tumhaare gham mein miri zindagi kharaab to hai

aao tajdid-e-vafaa phir se karein ham varna
baat kuchh aur ulajh jaaegi suljhaane se

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

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

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

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

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge
