Arsh Siddiqui

ham ne chaha tha teri chaal chalen
haa.e ham apni chaal se bhi ga.e

haan samundar men utar lekin ubharne ki bhi soch
Dubne se pahle gahra.i ka andaza laga

ik teri be-rukhi se zamana khafa hua
ai sang-dil tujhe bhi khabar hai ki kya hua

ham ki mayus nahin hain unhen pa hi lenge
log kahte hain ki DhunDe se khuda milta hai

bas yunhi tanha rahunga is safar men umr bhar
jis taraf koi nahin jaata udhar jaata huun main

vo ayadat ko to aaya tha magar jaate hue
apni tasviren bhi kamre se uTha kar le gaya

vo ayaadat ko to aayaa thaa magar jaate hue
apni tasvirein bhi kamre se uThaa kar le gayaa

zamaane bhar ne kahaa 'arsh' jo, khushi se sahaa
par ek lafz jo us ne kahaa sahaa na gayaa

ek lamhe ko tum mile the magar
umr bhar dil ko ham masalte rahe

ik teri be-rukhi se zamaana khafaa huaa
ai sang-dil tujhe bhi khabar hai ki kyaa huaa

haan samundar mein utar lekin ubharne ki bhi soch
Dubne se pahle gahraai kaa andaaza lagaa

ham ki maayus nahin hain unhein paa hi leinge
log kahte hain ki DhunDe se khudaa miltaa hai
