karo be-nur mahfil-e-imroz — Shahzad Ahmad

zabaanein thak chukin patthar hue kaan
kahaani an-kahi thi an-kahi hai

shaayad isi baais huiin patthar miri aankhein
jo kuchh ki mujhe dekhnaa thaa dekh liyaa hai

khalq be-parvaa khudaa bandon se tang aayaa huaa
main akelaa phir rahaa huun hashr ke maidaan mein

ek se manzar dekh dekh kar aankhein dukhne lagti hain
is raste par peD bahut hain aur haraa koi bhi nahin

main sun rahaa huun magar dusron ko kaise sunaaun
jo giit gunjtaa rahtaa hai mere kaanon mein

bharpur nahin hain kisi chehre ke khad-o-khaal
dekhaa nahin vo chaand jo puuraa nazar aae
