miri samt manzil ko baDhte jo dekhaa — Raaz Muradabadi

dil ki be-kaifiyon ko kyaa kiije
fasl-e-gul hai magar bahaar nahin

khud kiyaa tark-e-ta'alluq ham se
khud hi ranjur hue jaate hain

allah-re iltifaat-o-nadaamat ki saazishein
nazrein milin talaafi-e-maafaat ho gai

rukte nahin hain paa-e-jihat-aashnaa kahin
manzil bhi ek sang-e-nishaan rah-guzar mein hai

kisi ke vaada-e-sabr-aazmaa ki khair ki ham
ab e'tibaar ki had se guzarte jaate hain

vo kyaa chhuTe hayaat ke 'unvaan badal gae
duniyaa samajh rahi hai abhi ji rahaa huun main

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

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

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe
