khaak huun lekin saraapaa nuur hai meraa vajud — Anwar Sadeed

khuli zabaan to zarf un kaa ho gayaa zaahir
hazaar bhed chhupaa rakkhe the khamoshi mein

jaagti aankh se jo khvaab thaa dekhaa 'anvar'
us ki taabir mujhe dil ke jalaane se mili

pankh hilaa kar shaam gai hai is aangan se
ab utregi raat anokhi yaadon vaali

chalaa main jaanib-e-manzil to ye huaa maalum
yaqin gumaan mein gum hai gumaan hai poshida

sail-e-zamaan mein Duub gae mashhur-e-zamaana log
vaqt ke munsif ne kab rakkhaa qaaem un kaa naam

shikva kiyaa zamaane kaa to us ne ye kahaa
jis haal mein ho zinda raho aur khush raho

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

aur bhi to hain zamaane mein tumhaare aashiq
ek main hi tumhein kyaa qaabil-e-ilzaam milaa
