go mujhe ehsaas-e-tanhaai rahaa shiddat ke saath — Anwar Shuoor

aadmi ke liye ronaa hai baDi baat 'shuur'
hans to sakte hain sab insaan hansi mein kyaa hai

miri hayaat hai bas raat ke andhere tak
mujhe havaa se bachaae rakho savere tak

divaar-e-zindaan ke pichhe
jurm-e-mohabbat mein baiThaa huun

kabhi rotaa thaa us ko yaad kar ke
ab aksar be-sabab rone lagaa huun

koi zanjir nahin taar-e-nazar se mazbut
ham ne is chaand pe Daali hai kamand aankhon se

'shuur' sirf iraade se kuchh nahin hotaa
amal hai shart iraade sabhi ke hote hain

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

khud ko bachaaun jism sambhaalun ki ruuh ko
bikhraa huaa hai dard yahaan se vahaan talak

sadaa-e-dil ko kahin baaryaab honaa thaa
mire savaal kaa kuchh to javaab honaa thaa

jab se 'ummid' gayaa hai koi!!
lamhe sadiyon ki alaamat Thahre
