phir ik nae safar pe chalaa huun makaan se — Abdur Rahim Nashtar

vo so rahaa hai khudaa duur aasmaanon mein
farishte loriyaan gaate hain us ke kaanon mein

main teri chaah mein jhuTaa havas mein sachchaa huun
buraa samajh le magar dusron se achchhaa huun

aavaaz de rahaa hai akelaa khudaa mujhe
main us ko sun rahaa huun havaaon ke kaan se

vo ajnabi tiri baanhon mein jo rahaa shab bhar
kise khabar ki vo din bhar kahaan rahaa hogaa

paan ke Thele hotel logon kaa jamghaT
apne tanhaa hone kaa ehsaas bhi kyaa

main bhi taalaab kaa Thahraa huaa paani thaa kabhi
ek patthar ne ravaan dhaar kiyaa hai mujh ko

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

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

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

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe
