main nukta-chin nahin huun magar ye bataaiye — Ahmad Riyaz

shikast-e-ahd-e-sitam par yaqin rakhte hain
ham intihaa-e-sitam kaa gilaa nahin karte

fart-e-gham-e-havaadis-e-dauraan ke baavajud
jab bhi tire dayaar se guzre machal gae

gham-e-habib gham-e-zindagi gham-e-dauraan
kisi maqaam pe ham ji buraa nahin karte

kuchh is tarah se luTi hai mataa-e-dida-o-dil
ki ab kisi se bhi zikr-e-vafaa nahin karte

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

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

gul kiyaa jis ne vo thaa aur magar
shama ne shikva havaaon se kiyaa

gulaabon ke honTon pe lab rakh rahaa huun
use der tak sochnaa chaahtaa huun

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

ai sanam tu vo kanhayyaa hai balaaein luun agar
baansuli ki tarah naalaan hon saraapaa ungliyaan
