kyaa jaane kis kaa haath mire haath aa gayaa — Afzaal Naveed

jang se jangal banaa jangal se main niklaa nahin
ho gayaa ojhal magar ojhal se main niklaa nahin

ayyaam ke ghubaar se niklaa to der tak
main raaston ko dhuul banaa dekhtaa rahaa

sahar ki guunj se aavaaza-e-jamaal huaa
so jaagtaa rahaa atraaf ko jagaae hue

darvaaze the kuchh aur bhi darvaaze ke pichhe
barson pe gai baat mahinon se nikal kar

kisi ko rashk aae kyuun na qismat par hamaari ab
ujaD aae hain har jaanib se basnaa rah gayaa baaqi

rahti hai shab-o-roz mein baarish si tiri yaad
khvaabon mein utar jaati hain ghanghor si aankhein

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

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

na jaane us ne khule aasmaan mein kyaa dekhaa
parinda phir se jahaan-e-qafas mein lauT aayaa

ijz-o-niyaaz apnaa apni taraf hai saaraa
is musht-e-khaak ko ham masjud jaante hain

vo kuchh muskuraanaa vo kuchh jheinp jaanaa
javaani adaaein sikhaati hain kyaa kyaa

dene vaale tu mujhe niind na de khvaab to de
mujh ko mahtaab se aage bhi kahin jaanaa hai
