shahr mein apne ye lailaa ne munaadi kar di — Turab Kakorvi

hadaf jis kaa faqat dil ho main aise tiir ke qurbaan
badan jis se na ghaael ho main us shamshir ke qurbaan

uD ke aayaa hai lagan mein tire jal jaane ko
shauq se phunk de ai shama tu parvaane ko

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

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

aasmaan jhaank rahaa hai 'khaalid'
chaand kamre mein mire utraa hai

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe
