sun rahaa huun ki vo aaeinge hansaane mujh ko — Alok Yadav

annyaae ne bhar di hai bahut aag dilon mein
lanka hi kahin is mein jo jal jaae to achchhaa

mire liye hain musibat ye aaina-khaane
yahaan zamir miraa be-naqaab rahtaa hai

dilkashi thi unsiyat thi yaa mohabbat yaa junun
sab maraahil tujh se jo mansub the achchhe lage

nai naslon ke haathon mein bhi taabinda rahegaa
main mil jaaungaa miTTi mein qalam zinda rahegaa

pyaar kaa donon pe aakhir jurm saabit ho gayaa
ye farishte aaj jannat se nikaale jaaeinge

vaaiz safar to meraa bhi thaa ruuh ki taraf
par kyaa karun ki raah mein ye jism aa paDaa

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

ye duniyaa gham to deti hai sharik-e-gham nahin hoti
kisi ke duur jaane se mohabbat kam nahin hoti

dil-e-sad-chaak miraa raah yahaan kab paae
kucha-e-zulf mein phirtaa hai tire shaana kharaab

har sadaa par lage hain kaan yahaan
dil sambhaale raho zabaan ki tarah
