miraa vajud jo patthar dikhaai detaa hai — Ain Irfan

bahut nazdik the tasvir mein ham
magar vo faasla jo dikh rahaa thaa

be-maqsad mahfil se behtar tanhaai
be-matlab baaton se achchhi khaamoshi

jahaan tak Dubne kaa Dar hai tum ko
chalo ham saath chalte hain vahaan tak

bas ek dhun thi samundar ko paar karne ki
main jaantaa thaa samundar ke paar kuchh bhi na thaa

gaamzan hain ham musalsal ajnabi manzil ki samt
zindagi ki aarzu mein zindagi khote hue

haadisa kaun saa huaa pahle
raat aai ki din Dhalaa pahle

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

zindagi tu bhi hamein vaise hi ik roz guzaar
jis tarah ham tujhe barson se guzaare hue hain

zindagi ke bahut qarib na jaa
faasla kuchh to apne dhyaan mein rakh

baDe qalaq ki baat hai ki tum ise na paDh sake
hamaari zindagi to ik khuli hui kitaab thi

umr bhar kaun nibhaataa hai ta'alluq itnaa
ai miri jaan ke dushman tujhe allaah rakkhe

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