aae adam se ek jhalak dekhne tiri — Akhtar Razaa Saleemi

yahin kahin pe koi shahr bas rahaa thaa abhi
talaash kijiye is kaa agar nishaan koi hai

ik aag hamaari muntazir hai

ab zamin bhi jagah nahin deti
ham kabhi aasmaan pe rahte the

guzar rahaa huun kisi jannat-e-jamaal se main
gunaah kartaa huaa nekiyaan kamaataa huaa

tujhe khabar nahin is baat ki abhi shaayad
ki teraa ho to gayaa huun magar main huun us kaa
