jaur-e-aflaak ki shirkat ki zarurat kyaa hai — Safdar Mirzapuri

ghar to kyaa ghar kaa nishaan bhi nahin baaqi 'safdar'
ab vatan mein kabhi jaaeinge to mehmaan honge

ik nigaah-e-ghalat-andaaz sahi
dil ki aakhir koi qimat hogi

qismaton se milaa hai dard hamein
kahin aaraam-e-dil na ho jaae

qimat-e-jins-e-vafaa nim-nigaahi tauba
aisi baatein na karein aap ki saudaa na bane

zaraa vo khaak mein milne na de khun-e-shahidaan ko
khudaa taufiq de itni zamin-e-ku-e-jaanaan ko

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

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

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

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

main jis mein rah na sakaa ji-huzuriyon ke sabab
ye aadmi hai usi kaamyaab mausam kaa
