aate hi jo tum mere gale lag gae vallaah — Nazeer Akbar Abadi

dekhe na mujhe kyunkar az-chashm-e-hiqaarat-u
vo sarv-e-javaan yaaro man-faakhta-e-piram

ham haal to kah sakte hain apnaa pa kahein kyaa
jab vo idhar aate hain to tanhaa nahin aate

shab ko aa kar vo phir gayaa haihaat
kyaa isi raat ham ko sonaa thaa

aankhon mein meri subh-e-qayaamat gai jhamak
siine se us pari ke jo parda ulaT gayaa

divaangi meri ke tahayyur mein shab-o-roz
hai halqa-e-zanjir se zindaan hama-tan-chashm

miri is chashm-e-tar se abr-e-baaraan ko hai kyaa nisbat
ki vo dariyaa kaa paani aur ye khun-e-dil hai barsaati

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

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

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

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

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