jaati thi koi raah akeli kisi jaanib — Yasmeen Habeeb

ye kamra aur ye gard-o-ghubaar us kaa hai
vo jis ne aanaa nahin intizaar us kaa hai

— Yasmeen Habeeb

jo chalaa gayaa so chalaa gayaa jo hai paas us kaa khayaal rakh
jo luTaa diyaa use bhuul jaa jo bachaa hai us ko sambhaal rakh

hamein sairaab rakkhaa hai khudaa kaa shukr hai us ne
jahaan banjar zaminein hon anaaein shor karti hain

aate rahte hain falak se bhi ishaare kuchh na kuchh
baat kar lete hain ham se chaand taare kuchh na kuchh

— Yasmeen Habeeb

hamein bhi tajraba hai be-ghari kaa chhat na hone kaa
darinde, bijliyaan, kaali ghaTaaein shor karti hain

— Yasmeen Habeeb

kaise hon khvaab aankh mein kaisaa khayaal dil mein ho
khud hi har ek baat kaa karnaa thaa faisla mujhe

— Yasmeen Habeeb

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

intihaa ke qarib hai duniyaa
aadmi aakhiri sadi kaa huun

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ham haal to kah sakte hain apnaa pa kahein kyaa
jab vo idhar aate hain to tanhaa nahin aate

— Nazeer Akbar Abadi
