har baat hai 'khaalid' ki zamaane se niraali — Abdul Aziz Khalid

nai mohabbatein 'khaalid' puraani dostiyaan
azaab-e-kashmakash-e-be-amaan mein rahte hain

kaun mar kar dobaara zinda huaa
kaun mulk-e-fanaa se lauTaa hai

pursaan-e-pareshaani-e-insaan nahin koi
qismat ki girah naakhun-e-tadbir se kholo

shahidaan-e-vafaa ki manqabat likhte rahe lekin
na ki arzi khudaaon ki kabhi hamd-o-sanaa ham ne

qaasid ye zabaan us ki bayaan us kaa nahin hai
dhokaa hai tujhe us ne kahaa aur hi kuchh hai

parakhne vaale parkheinge isi meaar par ham ko
jahaan se kyaa liyaa ham ne jahaan ko kyaa diyaa ham ne

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

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

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

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

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge
