pujaari hain azal se 'mir'-ji ke — Vikas Sharma Raaz

muddatein ho gaiin hisaab kiye
kyaa pataa kitne rah gae hain ham

iraada to nahin hai khud-kushi kaa
magar main zindagi se khush nahin huun

dekhnaa chaahtaa huun gum ho kar
kyaa koi DhunD ke laataa hai mujhe

jise dekho ghazal pahne hue hai
bahut sastaa ye zevar gayaa hai

asar hai ye hamaari dastakon kaa
jahaan divaar thi dar ho gayaa hai

mujh ko aksar udaas karti hai
ek tasvir muskuraati hui

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

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

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

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

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

kaho kyaa mehrbaan naa-mehrbaan taqdir hoti hai
kahaa maan ki duaaon mein baDi taasir hoti hai
