jurm-e-ummid ki sazaa hi de — Nasir Kazmi

vo koi dost thaa achchhe dinon kaa
jo pichhli raat se yaad aa rahaa hai

aarzu hai ki tu yahaan aae
aur phir umr bhar na jaae kahin

vaqt achchhaa bhi aaegaa 'naasir'
gham na kar zindagi paDi hai abhi

bhari duniyaa mein ji nahin lagtaa
jaane kis chiiz ki kami hai abhi

hamaare ghar ki divaaron pe 'naasir'
udaasi baal khole so rahi hai

ai dost ham ne tark-e-mohabbat ke baavajud
mahsus ki hai teri zarurat kabhi kabhi

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

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

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