siyaah dasht ki jaanib safar dobaara kiyaa — Rafiq Raaz

tu mere sajdon ki laaj rakh le shuur-e-sajda nahin hai mujh ko
ye sar tire aastaan se pahle kisi ke aage jhukaa nahin hai

ruuh mein jis ne ye dahshat si machaa rakkhi hai
us ki tasvir gumaan bhar to banaa sakte hain

qaatil ko raushni mein dikhaai diyaa na main
aisi chamak thi khanjar-e-burraan mein bach gayaa

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

safar mein aise kai marhale bhi aate hain
har ek moD pe kuchh log chhuT jaate hain

miri tamannaa hai ab ke tum phir milo to ji bhar ke muskuraaein
ki dekhnaa hai ye raushni kaa safar bahut der baa'd jaa kar

yuun to maujud apne ghar mein hai
aadmi mustaqil safar mein hai

yaar bhi raah ki divaar samajhte hain mujhe
main samajhtaa thaa mire yaar samajhte hain mujhe

dimaagh un ke tajassus mein jism ghar mein rahaa
main apne ghar hi mein rahte hue safar mein rahaa
