buton ki chaah mein ham to azaab hi mein rahe — Unknown

log kaanTon se bach ke chalte hain
main ne phulon se zakhm khaae hain

dil TuTne se thoDi si taklif to hui
lekin tamaam umr ko aaraam ho gayaa

duniyaa mein vahi shakhs hai taazim ke qaabil
jis shakhs ne haalaat kaa rukh moD diyaa ho

miri namaaz-e-janaaza paDhi hai ghairon ne
mare the jin ke liye vo rahe vazu karte

ye hamin hain ki tiraa dard chhupaa kar dil mein
kaam duniyaa ke ba-dastur kiye jaate hain

jin ke kirdaar se aati ho sadaaqat ki mahak
un ki tadris se patthar bhi pighal sakte hain

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

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

pyaasi bahut thiin hasratein lo aaj mar gaiin
baarish kaa intizaar thaa vo bhi nahin rahaa

tag-o-taaz-e-paiham hai miraas-e-aadam
mire muntazir kuchh jahaan aur bhi hain

ye aur baat ki tu do qadam pe bhuul gayaa
hamein to hashr talak teraa intizaar rahaa

kuchh to khayaal kar miri umr-e-daraaz kaa
sadiyaan guzar gai hain tire intizaar mein
