lafz-e-ehsaas ko tasvir nahin kar sakte — Noman Badr

main kaaTaa jaaungaa sab ko 'aziz hote hue
saDak ke biich mein aayaa huaa darakht huun main

ye lamha jis mein ham aaj chhup kar gale mile hain
agar muqaddar nahin milaa to sazaa banegaa

ham ko khushiyaan bhi udaasi ke lifaafe mein milin
ham saa bad-bakht zamaane mein nahin hai koi

ghol ke ghol mire sahn mein aa baiThte hain
ye parinde mujhe hijrat nahin karne dete

hamaare baa'd bhi tum qahqahe lagaate ho
tumhaare baa'd to ham baat bhi nahin karte

tumhaare saath ik duniyaa khaDi hai
hamaare saath to ham bhi nahin hain

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ham to apnon se bhi begaana hue ulfat mein
tum jo ghairon se mile tum ko na ghairat aai

ik sadma-e-mohabbat ik sadma-e-judaai
ginti ke do hain lekin laakhon ki jaan par hain

pichhaa kisi tarah ye miraa chhoDtaa nahin
haathon se ishq ke koi jaave kahaan nikal

aatish-e-ishq vo jahannam hai
jis mein firdaus ke nazaare hain
