Shahid Siddiqui

ek pal ke rukne se duur ho ga.i manzil
sirf ham nahin chalte raste bhi chalte hain

tamam umr tira intizar kar lenge
magar ye ranj rahega ki zindagi kam hai

na saath dengi ye dam toDti hui sham.en
na.e charag jalao ki raushni kam hai

uruj-e-mah ko insan samajh gaya lekin
hanuz azmat-e-insan se agahi kam hai

qarib o duur se aati hai aap ki avaz
kabhi bahut hai gham-e-justuju kabhi kam hai

ab hayat-e-insan ka hashr dekhiye kya ho
mil gaya hai qatil ko mansab-e-masiha.i

tamaam umr tiraa intizaar kar leinge
magar ye ranj rahegaa ki zindagi kam hai

ek pal ke rukne se duur ho gai manzil
sirf ham nahin chalte raaste bhi chalte hain

na saath deingi ye dam toDti hui shamein
nae charaag jalaao ki raushni kam hai

uruj-e-maah ko insaan samajh gayaa lekin
hanuz azmat-e-insaan se aagahi kam hai

qarib o duur se aati hai aap ki aavaaz
kabhi bahut hai gham-e-justuju kabhi kam hai

ab hayaat-e-insaan kaa hashr dekhiye kyaa ho
mil gayaa hai qaatil ko mansab-e-masihaai
