safar kaa nashsha chaDhaa hai to kyuun utar jaae — Shahryar

dil mein rakhtaa hai na palkon pe biThaataa hai mujhe
phir bhi ik shakhs mein kyaa kyaa nazar aataa hai mujhe

— Shahryar

chal chal ke thak gayaa hai ki manzil nahin koi
kyuun vaqt ek moD pe Thahraa huaa saa hai

— Shahryar

zabaan mili bhi to kis vaqt be-zabaanon ko
sunaane ke liye jab koi daastaan na rahi

— Shahryar

har taraf apne ko bikhraa paaoge
aainon ko toD ke pachhtaaoge

— Shahryar

shahr-e-ummid haqiqat mein nahin ban saktaa
to chalo us ko tasavvur hi mein taamir karein

— Shahryar

bataaun kis tarah ahbaab ko aankhein jo aisi hain
ki kal palkon se TuuTi niind ki kirchein sameTin hain

— Shahryar

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

— Aabid Adeeb

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

— Jafar Shirazi

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

— Anjum Siddiqui

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost

— Ahmad Faraz

kin manzilon luTe hain mohabbat ke qaafile
insaan zamin pe aaj gharib-ul-vatan saa hai

— Ada Jafarey

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

— Saleem Amrohvi
