Shahab Sarmadi

nahin ki zindagi hamen kahan kahan liye phiri
hai yuun ki ham ga.e use kahan kahan liye hue

baagh ka dard usi phuul ke dil se puchho
muskurata hua jo daur-e-khizan se guzre

chand hai tera ham-safar koi nahin hai rahbar
aage qadam baDha ke rakh duur ki raushni na dekh

tira khayal de gaya hai aasra kahin kahin
tira firaq hausle baDha gaya kabhi kabhi

tum khud hi chale aaoge shayad sar-e-manzil
ik raah nikali hai miri dar-badari ne

is ehtimam se aksar uThe hain paimane
ki buund buund ko main janon ya khuda jaane

nahin ki zindagi hamein kahaan kahaan liye phiri
hai yuun ki ham gae use kahaan kahaan liye hue

chaand hai teraa ham-safar koi nahin hai raahbar
aage qadam baDhaa ke rakh duur ki raushni na dekh

tum khud hi chale aaoge shaayad sar-e-manzil
ik raah nikaali hai miri dar-badari ne

baagh kaa dard usi phuul ke dil se puchho
muskuraataa huaa jo daur-e-khizaan se guzre

is ehtimaam se aksar uThe hain paimaane
ki buund buund ko main jaanon yaa khudaa jaane

tiraa khayaal de gayaa hai aasraa kahin kahin
tiraa firaaq hausle baDhaa gayaa kabhi kabhi
