phir tiri mukhtaari-e-'aalam kaa kyaa — Waseem Haidar

qaid kartaa huun hasratein dil mein
phir inhein khud-kushi sikhaataa huun

tujh ko ho mere lams ki khvaahish shadid-tar
tujh se tamaam 'umr miraa saamnaa na ho

suntaa rahtaa huun to vo kuchh bhi kahe jaataa hai
us ko lagtaa hai ki me'yaar yahi hai apnaa

havas na puuri hui jab kahin to 'ilm huaa
tire badan kaa rahaa mujh ko aasraa baDi der

ab vo achchhaa mujhe pasand nahin
jo buraa bhi qubul hotaa thaa

mire khamir pe saari hi sarf ho gai thi
phir us ke baa'd udaasi nai banaai gai

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

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

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