chamak de chaand ko ThanDak havaa ko dil ko umang — Abdullah Kamal

vo qayaamat thi ki reza reza ho ke uD gayaa
ai zamin varna kabhi ik aasmaan meraa bhi thaa

aao aaj ham donon apnaa apnaa ghar chun lein
tum navaah-e-dil le lo khitta-e-badan meraa

tum to ai khushbu havaao us se mil kar aa gaiin
ek ham the zakhm-e-tanhaai haraa karte rahe

main tujh ko jaagti aankhon se chhu sakun na kabhi
miri anaa kaa bharam rakh le mere khvaab mein aa

ik musalsal jang thi khud se ki ham zinda hain aaj
zindagi ham teraa haq yuun bhi adaa karte rahe

apne vajud se pare ab
koi bhi raasta nahin hai

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

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

khaDaa huun zer-e-falak gumbad-e-sadaa mein 'munir'
ki jaise haath uThaa ho koi duaa ke liye

sadaa ham to khoe gae se rahe
kabhu aap mein tum ne paayaa hamein

main muskuraataa magar di na ashk ne mohlat
khushi jab ek mili saath gham hazaar mile
