rang laai hai hasrat-e-taamir — Nazeer Qaisar

jab vo saath hotaa hai
ham akele hote hain

khvaab kyaa thaa jo mire sar mein rahaa
raat bhar ik shor saa ghar mein rahaa

patthar hotaa jaataa huun
hansne do yaa rone do

nayaa libaas pahan kar bhi
duniyaa vahi puraani hai

bas ham donon zinda hain
baaqi duniyaa faani hai

yuun tujhe dekh ke chaunk uThti hain soi yaadein
jaise sannaaTe mein aavaaz lagaa de koi

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

kaho kyaa mehrbaan naa-mehrbaan taqdir hoti hai
kahaa maan ki duaaon mein baDi taasir hoti hai

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

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