itnaa maanus huun sannaaTe se — Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi

umr bhar sang-zani karte rahe ahl-e-vatan
ye alag baat ki dafnaaeinge eazaaz ke saath

mire khudaa ne kiyaa thaa mujhe asir-e-bahisht
mire gunah ne rihaai mujhe dilaai hai

un kaa aanaa hashr se kuchh kam na thaa
aur jab palTe qayaamat Dhaa gae

bhari duniyaa mein faqat mujh se nigaahein na churaa
ishq par bas na chalegaa tiri daanaai kaa

saari duniyaa hamein pahchaanti hai
koi ham saa bhi na tanhaa hogaa

mar jaataa huun jab ye sochtaa huun
main tere baghair ji rahaa huun

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

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

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

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
