us ek ashk kaa bahnaa nasheb-e-jaan ki taraf — 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

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

apni anaa ki aaj bhi taskin ham ne ki
ji bhar ke us ke husn ki tauhin ham ne ki

khud hi jaane lage the aur khud hi
raasta rok kar khaDe hue hain

aql kahti hai dobaara aazmaanaa jahl hai
dil ye kahtaa hai fareb-e-dost khaate jaaiye

vahaan se le gai naakaam badbakhton ko khud-kaami
jahaan chashm-e-karam se khud-ba-khud kuchh kaam honaa thaa

bosa jo rukh kaa dete nahin lab kaa dijiye
ye hai masal ki phuul nahin pankhuDi sahi
