dard kaa ehsaas rakkhaa hai faqat insaan mein — Zahoor Minhas

fikr-e-tajdid-e-hijr hai varna
kab mujhe vasl ki zarurat hai

ye to insaaniyat ko Thokar hai
aadmi aadmi kaa naukar hai

vo thak gai thi bhiiD mein chalte hue 'zahur'
us ke badan pe an-ginat aankhon kaa bojh thaa

koi bhi hal nahin udaasi kaa
mujh se kamre ne baarhaa puchhaa

tamaam shahr mein baarish ki dhaak baiTh gai
jo uD rahi thi havaaon mein khaak baiTh gai

gaaDi mein bhi ghar ko soche jaataa huun
gaaDi aage aur main pichhe jaataa huun

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

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

na puchho jaan par kyaa kuchh guzarti hai gham-e-dil se
qaraar aanaa kahaan kaa saans bhi aati hai mushkil se

hamein tanhaaiyon mein yuun to kyaa kyaa yaad aataa hai
magar sach puchhiye to ek chehraa yaad aataa hai
