Ahmad Javaid

mashghul hain safa.i-o-tausi-e-dil men ham
tangi na is makan men ho mehman ko

ajab safar tha ajab-tar musafirat meri
zamin shuru hui aur main tamam hua

ghar aur bayaban men koi farq nahin hai
lazim hai magar ishq ke adab men rahna

dil se bahar aaj tak ham ne qadam rakkha nahin
dekhne men zahira lagte hain sailani se ham

ek aansu se kami aa ja.egi
ghaliban dariyaon ke iqbal men

tulu-e-sa.at-e-shab-khun hai aur mera dil
kisi sitara-e-bad ki nigah men aaya

ek aansu se kami aa jaaegi
ghaaliban dariyaaon ke iqbaal mein

ajab safar thaa ajab-tar musaafirat meri
zamin shuru hui aur main tamaam huaa

dil se baahar aaj tak ham ne qadam rakkhaa nahin
dekhne mein zaahiraa lagte hain sailaani se ham

duniyaa mire paDos mein aabaad hai magar
meri duaa-salaam nahin us zalil se

sukh ki khaatir dukh mat bech
jaal ke pichhe jaal na Daal

gahvaara-e-safar mein khuli hai hamaari aankh
taamir apne ghar ki hui sang-e-mil se
