teri majburiyaan durust magar — Nasir Kazmi

kuchh yaadgaar-e-shahr-e-sitamgar hi le chalein
aae hain is gali mein to patthar hi le chalein

vo raat kaa be-navaa musaafir vo teraa shaair vo teraa 'naasir'
tiri gali tak to ham ne dekhaa thaa phir na jaane kidhar gayaa vo

akele ghar se puchhti hai be-kasi
tiraa diyaa jalaane vaale kyaa hue

girafta-dil hain bahut aaj tere divaane
khudaa kare koi tere sivaa na pahchaane

jurm-e-ummid ki sazaa hi de
mere haq mein bhi kuchh sunaa hi de

nae kapDe badal kar jaaun kahaan aur baal banaaun kis ke liye
vo shakhs to shahr hi chhoD gayaa main baahar jaaun kis ke liye

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

kisi ki yaad manaane mein iid guzregi
so shahr-e-dil mein bahut duur tak udaasi hai

aadhi se ziyaada shab-e-gham kaaT chukaa huun
ab bhi agar aa jaao to ye raat baDi hai

ai chaman vaalo chaman mein yuun guzaaraa chaahiye
baaghbaan bhi khush rahe raazi rahe sayyaad bhi

koi puraanaa khat kuchh bhuli-bisri yaad
zakhmon par vo lamhe marham hote hain

aataa rahaa huun yaad main us ko tamaam umr
is zaaviye se ishq mein naakaam kab huaa
