koi bhi pechidgi haael nahin anvar-'sadid' — Anwar Sadeed

khaak huun lekin saraapaa nuur hai meraa vajud
is zamin par chaand suraj kaa numaainda huun main

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

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

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

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

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

har saans hai ik naghma har naghma hai mastaana
kis darja dukhe dil kaa rangin hai afsaana

ye zoraa-zori ishq ki thi fitrat hi jis ne badal Daali
jaltaa huaa dil ho kar paani aansu ban jaanaa kyaa jaane
