tamaam rang adhure lage tire aage — Alam Khursheed

kabhi kabhi kitnaa nuqsaan uThaanaa paDtaa hai
airon ghairon kaa ehsaan uThaanaa paDtaa hai

kisi ke raste pe kaise nazrein jamaae rakkhun
abhi to karnaa mujhe hai khud intizaar meraa

tahzib ki zanjir se uljhaa rahaa main bhi
tu bhi na baDhaa jism ke aadaab se aage

kisi ko DhunDte hain ham kisi ke paikar mein
kisi kaa chehra kisi se milaate rahte hain

ab kitni kaar-aamad jangal mein lag rahi hai
vo raushni jo ghar mein bekaar lag rahi thi

ishq mein tahzib ke hain aur hi kuchh falsafe
tujh se ho kar ham khafaa khud se khafaa rahne lage

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

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

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

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

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge
