tum saf-e-dostaan mein ho lekin — Shahid Kamal

haan vaz-e-ehtiyaat kaa qaail nahin huun mein
jo zakhm hai jigar mein chhupaane se main rahaa

jab Duub ke marnaa hai to kyaa soch rahe ho
in jhiil si aankhon mein utar kyuun nahin jaate

jang kaa shor bhi kuchh der to tham saktaa hai
phir se ik amn ki afvaah uDaa di jaae

tu mere saath nahin hai to sochtaa huun main
ki ab to tujh se bichhaDne kaa koi Dar bhi nahin

shaakh-e-mizhgaan pe mahakne lage zakhmon ke gulaab
pichhle mausam ki mulaaqaat ki bu zinda hai

burida-sar ko sajaa de fasil-e-neza par
darida jism ko phir arsa-e-qitaal mein rakh

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

jo ghair the vo isi baat par hamaare hue
ki ham se dost bahut be-khabar hamaare hue

barseingi aaj rahmatein aamad hai yaar ki
naayaab hain ye ghaDiyaan tire intizaar ki

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

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi
