Shaukat Fahmi

ik umr tak main us ki zarurat bana raha
phir yuun hua ki us ki zarurat badal ga.i

badla jo vaqt gahri rifaqat badal ga.i
suraj Dhala to saa.e ki surat badal ga.i

hamare paas sunane ko kuchh nahin 'fahmi'
hamen to khvab bhi dekhe hue zamana hua

isi liye mujhe raste men shaam aa.i hai
main apni samt baDi der se ravana hua

shahr ki halat itni bhi makhdush nahin
dekho main ne aaj bhi jaan bacha li hai

zara shadab hona chahte hain
hamen rone do rona chahte hain

zaraa shaadaab honaa chaahte hain
hamein rone do ronaa chaahte hain

ik umr tak main us ki zarurat banaa rahaa
phir yuun huaa ki us ki zarurat badal gai

badlaa jo vaqt gahri rifaaqat badal gai
suraj Dhalaa to saae ki surat badal gai

hamaare paas sunaane ko kuchh nahin 'fahmi'
hamein to khvaab bhi dekhe hue zamaana huaa

vo ek shakhs kisi taur jo miraa na huaa
miri balaa se kisi kaa huaa huaa na huaa

dhyaan mein koi chehra laa kar marzi kaa
aankhein bun leti hain manzar marzi kaa
