divaangi ki aisi milegi kahaan misaal — Anwar Minai

har dam duaa-e-aab-o-havaa maangte rahe
nange darakht sabz qabaa maangte rahe

is ahd mein rishton ki be-rang dukaanon mein
hiire se bhi mahngaa hai vishvaas kaa aaina

khvaab bikhreinge to ham ko bhi bikharnaa hogaa
shab ki ik ek aziyyat se guzarnaa hogaa

laakh suraj ki inaayaat rahein mere saath
meraa saaya na mire qad ke baraabar phailaa

utraa thaa meri ruuh ke rauzan se jo kabhi
ghuT ghuT ke mere jism mein marne lagaa hai vo

jab zamin ke muqaddar sanvar jaaeinge
aasmaan se farishte utar aaeinge

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

gul kiyaa jis ne vo thaa aur magar
shama ne shikva havaaon se kiyaa

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

sar-e-khaamushi ye sajaavaTein usi rang-o-bu ki misaal hain
jo mahak ho qabr ke phuul mein jo chamak ho sham'-e-mazaar mein

na zikr gul kaa kahin hai na maahtaab kaa hai
tamaam shahr mein charchaa tire shabaab kaa hai
