kisi surat koi surat nikaalo — Wakil Akhtar

us shakhs ke gham kaa koi andaaza lagaae
jis ko kabhi rote hue dekhaa na kisi ne

jhuk ke jo aap se miltaa hogaa
us kaa qad aap se unchaa hogaa

udaas aankhon se aansu nahin nikalte hain
ye motiyon ki tarah sipiyon mein palte hain

kisi ke ek ishaare mein kis ko kyaa na milaa
bashar ko ziist mili maut ko bahaana milaa

jiinaa taDap taDap kar marnaa sisak sisak kar
fariyaad ek ji hai kyaa kyaa kharaabiyon mein

bichhaDnaa bhi tumhaaraa jite-ji ki maut hai goyaa
use kyaa khaak lutf-e-zindagi jis se judaa tum ho

allaah re zauq-e-dasht-navardi ki baad-e-marg
hilte hain khud-ba-khud mire andar kafan ke paanv

umr-bhar jis ke liye aankhein rahi hain farsh-e-raah
vo ajal kaa qaasid-e-farkhanda-gaam aa hi gayaa
