na thi zamin mein vusat miri nazar jaisi — Aanis Moin

ye aur baat ki rang-e-bahaar kam hogaa
nai ruton mein darakhton kaa baar kam hogaa

aaj zaraa si der ko apne andar jhaank kar dekhaa thaa
aaj miraa aur ik vahshi kaa saath rahaa pal do pal kaa

utaaraa dil ke varaq par to kitnaa pachhtaayaa
vo intisaab jo pahle bas ik kitaab pe thaa

gahri sochein lambe din aur chhoTi raatein
vaqt se pahle dhuup saron pe aa pahunchi

hazaaron qumqumon se jagmagaataa hai ye ghar lekin
jo man mein jhaank ke dekhun to ab bhi raushni kam hai

tumhaare naam ke niche khinchi hui hai lakir
kitaab-e-zist hai saada is indiraaj ke baad

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

main jis mein rah na sakaa ji-huzuriyon ke sabab
ye aadmi hai usi kaamyaab mausam kaa
