main is jaanib tu us jaanib — 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

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

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

na jaane us ne khule aasmaan mein kyaa dekhaa
parinda phir se jahaan-e-qafas mein lauT aayaa

ijz-o-niyaaz apnaa apni taraf hai saaraa
is musht-e-khaak ko ham masjud jaante hain

chhup gayaa eid kaa chaand nikal kar der hui par jaane kyon
nazrein ab tak Tiki hui hain masjid ke minaaron par

baat karnaa hai karo saamne itraao nahin
jo nahin jaante us baat ko samjhaao nahin
