vaqt ko kyuun bhalaa buraa kahiye — Shahryar

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

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

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

safar kaa nashsha chaDhaa hai to kyuun utar jaae
maza to jab hai koi lauT ke na ghar jaae

har taraf apne ko bikhraa paaoge
aainon ko toD ke pachhtaaoge

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