dhuup mein kaun kise yaad kiyaa kartaa hai — Ameer Imam

na aabshaar na sahraa lagaa sake qimat
ham apni pyaas ko le kar dahan mein lauT aae

shahr mein saare charaaghon ki ziyaa khaamosh hai
tirgi har samt phailaa kar havaa khaamosh hai

lagi vo tujh si to aalam mein munfarid Thahri
vagarna aam si lagti agar judaa lagti

vo maarka ki aaj bhi sar ho nahin sakaa
main thak ke muskuraa diyaa jab ro nahin sakaa

apni taraf to main bhi nahin huun abhi talak
aur us taraf tamaam zamaana usi kaa hai

jo shaam hoti hai har roz haar jaataa huun
main apne jism ki parchhaaiyon se laDte hue

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

sab ko ham bhuul gae josh-e-junun mein lekin
ik tiri yaad thi aisi jo bhulaai na gai

kyaa bhuul paD gai hai raste sanbhaalne mein
khud ko bhi yaad rakhnaa dushvaar ho rahaa hai

phir vahi kunj-e-qafas hai vahi sayyaad kaa ghar
chaar din aur havaa baagh ki khaa le bulbul

paron ko khol de zaalim jo band kartaa hai
qafas ko le ke main uD jaaungaa kahaan sayyaad

khuli hai kunj-e-qafas mein miri zabaan sayyaad
main maajraa-e-chaman kyaa karun bayaan sayyaad
