nizaam-e-zar mein kisi aur kaam kaa kyaa ho — 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

go mujhe ehsaas-e-tanhaai rahaa shiddat ke saath
kaaT di aadhi sadi ek ajnabi aurat ke saath

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

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

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

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

na jaane us ne khule aasmaan mein kyaa dekhaa
parinda phir se jahaan-e-qafas mein lauT aayaa
