jaane kis ummid pe chhoD aae the ghar-baar log — Nomaan Shauque

rok do ye raushni ki tez dhaar
meri miTTi mein gundhi hai raat bhi

vo saanp jis ne mujhe aaj tak Dasaa bhi nahin
tamaam zahr sukhan mein mire usi kaa hai

phir is mazaaq ko jamhuriyat kaa naam diyaa
hamein Daraane lage vo hamaari taaqat se

apni aahaT pe chaunktaa huun main
kis ki duniyaa mein aa gayaa huun main

vo tanz ko bhi husn-e-talab jaan khush hue
ulTaa paDhaa gayaa, miraa paighaam aur thaa

is baar intizaam to sardi kaa ho gayaa
kyaa haal peD kaTte hi basti kaa ho gayaa

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost

is naghmagi kaa thoDaa gunah-gaar main bhi huun
mujh se bhi is jahaan mein halchal rahi hai dost

ab aadmi kuchh aur hamaari nazar mein hai
jab se sunaa hai yaar libaas-e-bashar mein hai

raaz-e-nihaan zabaan-e-aghyaar tak na pahunchaa
kyaa ek bhi hamaaraa khat yaar tak na pahunchaa
