Umair Manzar

yahan ham ne kisi se dil lagaya hi nahin 'manzar'
ki is duniya se akhir ek din be-zar hona tha

marhale aur aane vaale hain
tiir apna abhi kaman men rakh

tazkira ho tira zamane men
aisa pahlu koi bayan men rakh

sathi mire kahan se kahan tak pahunch ga.e
main zindagi ke naaz uThane men rah gaya

ye mere sathi hain pyare sathi magar inhen bhi nahin gavara
main apni vahshat ke maqbare se na.i tamanna ke khvab dekhun

har baar hi main jaan se jaane men rah gaya
main rasm-e-zindagi jo nibhane men rah gaya

ye to sach hai ki vo sitamgar hai
dar par aayaa hai to amaan mein rakh

banaa ke vahm o gumaan ki duniyaa haqiqaton ke saraab dekhun
main apne hi aaine mein khud ko jahaan bhi dekhun kharaab dekhun

tazkira ho tiraa zamaane mein
aisaa pahlu koi bayaan mein rakh

is mahfil mein main bhi kyaa bebaak huaa
aib o hunar kaa saaraa parda chaak huaa

sunaa ye thaa bahut aasuda hain saahil ke baashinde
magar TuuTi hui kashti mein dariyaa paar honaa thaa

baDhte chale gae jo vo manzil ko paa gae
main pattharon se paanv bachaane mein rah gayaa
