ek aansu se kami aa jaaegi — Ahmad Javaid

ajab safar thaa ajab-tar musaafirat meri
zamin shuru hui aur main tamaam huaa

dil se baahar aaj tak ham ne qadam rakkhaa nahin
dekhne mein zaahiraa lagte hain sailaani se ham

duniyaa mire paDos mein aabaad hai magar
meri duaa-salaam nahin us zalil se

sukh ki khaatir dukh mat bech
jaal ke pichhe jaal na Daal

dil-e-betaab ke hamraah safar mein rahnaa
ham ne dekhaa hi nahin chain se ghar mein rahnaa

gahvaara-e-safar mein khuli hai hamaari aankh
taamir apne ghar ki hui sang-e-mil se

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

dil-e-sad-chaak miraa raah yahaan kab paae
kucha-e-zulf mein phirtaa hai tire shaana kharaab

gham siin ahl-e-bait ke ji to tiraa kuDhtaa nahin
yuun abas paDhtaa phiraa jo marsiya to kyaa huaa

dilli mein dard-e-dil kuun koi puchhtaa nahin
mujh kuun qasam hai khvaaja-qutub ke mazaar ki
