log dushman hue usi ke 'shakeb' — Shakeb Jalali

bad-qismati ko ye bhi gavaaraa na ho sakaa
ham jis pe mar miTe vo hamaaraa na ho sakaa

koi bhulaa huaa chehra nazar aae shaayad
aaina ghaur se tu ne kabhi dekhaa hi nahin

aaj bhi shaayad koi phulon kaa tohfa bhej de
titliyaan manDlaa rahi hain kaanch ke gul-daan par

socho to silvaTon se bhari hai tamaam ruuh
dekho to ik shikan bhi nahin hai libaas mein

ye ek abr kaa TukDaa kahaan kahaan barse
tamaam dasht hi pyaasaa dikhaai detaa hai

tu ne kahaa na thaa ki main kashti pe bojh huun
aankhon ko ab na Dhaanp mujhe Dubte bhi dekh
