kis tarah jamaa kijiye ab apne aap ko — Adil Mansuri

dariyaa ke kinaare pe miri laash paDi thi
aur paani ki tah mein vo mujhe DhunD rahaa thaa

kab tak paDe rahoge havaaon ke haath mein
kab tak chalegaa khokhle shabdon kaa kaarobaar

soe to dil mein ek jahaan jaagne lagaa
jaage to apni aankh mein jaale the khvaab ke

bismil ke taDapne ki adaaon mein nasha thaa
main haath mein talvaar liye jhuum rahaa thaa

ab TuTne hi vaalaa hai tanhaai kaa hisaar
ik shakhs chikhtaa hai samundar ke aar-paar

vo kaun thaa jo din ke ujaale mein kho gayaa
ye chaand kis ko DhunDne niklaa hai shaam se

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

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

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

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

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad
