sadaaein ek si yaksaaniyat mein Duub jaati hain — Adeem Hashmi

faasle aise bhi honge ye kabhi sochaa na thaa
saamne baiThaa thaa mere aur vo meraa na thaa

ik khilaunaa TuuT jaaegaa nayaa mil jaaegaa
main nahin to koi tujh ko dusraa mil jaaegaa

kaTi hui hai zamin koh se samundar tak
milaa hai ghaao ye dariyaa ko raasta de kar

kyuun parakhte ho savaalon se javaabon ko 'adim'
honT achchhe hon to samjho ki savaal achchhaa hai

huaa hai jo sadaa us ko nasibon kaa likhaa samjhaa
'adim' apne kiye par mujh ko pachhtaanaa nahin aataa

mire hamraah garche duur tak logon ki raunaq hai
magar jaise koi kam hai kabhi milne chale aao

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

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

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

kisi ki yaad manaane mein iid guzregi
so shahr-e-dil mein bahut duur tak udaasi hai

aisi taraqqi par to ronaa bantaa hai
jis mein dahshat-gard corona bantaa hai
