us peD ke har phal mein miraa haq zaraa rakhnaa — Abida Karamat

amaan mein aa ke bhi jis ki main be-amaan rahun
kisi bhi aisi nazar kaa mujhe hisaar na de

auron ki aag kyaa tujhe kundan banaaegi
apni bhi aag mein kabhi chup-chaap jal ke dekh

vahin pe jhaaD ke uThte hain phir mataa’-e-hayaat
ki zindagi ko jahaan jis ke naam karte hain

main us ki dhun mein nae raaste pe jaa nikli
dayaar-e-jaan se miri roz jo guzartaa rahaa

us ne meri shaakhon ko is tarah numu bakhshi
zakhm ke khileinge phuul dard kaa chaman hogaa

ham tire saae mein kuchh der Thaharte kaise
ham ko jab dhuup se vahshat nahin karni aai
