anginat safinon mein diip jagmagaate hain — Aqeel Nomani

puchho zaraa ye kaun si duniyaa se aae hain
kuchh log kah rahe hain hamein koi gham nahin

ab sang-baariyon kaa amal sard paD gayaa
ab us taraf bhi ranj mire TuTne kaa hai

be-sabab donon mein har ek ko dilchaspi thi
aur har ek se bezaar the ham bhi tum bhi

hamein bhi vaqt ke tufaan mil kar khaa gae aakhir
har ik kashti ko mil jaataa hai saahil ham bhi kahte the

baDi hi karbnaak thi vo pahli raat hijr ki
dobaara dil mein aisaa dard aaj tak nahin huaa

jis ko chaahaa bas usi kaa raasta takte rahe
pattharon ki justuju mein khud ko patthar kar liyaa

har ek shaakh pe viraaniyaan musallat hain
badan-darakht bhi goyaa hai aashiyaan-e-shab

shor din ko nahin sone detaa
shab ko sannaaTaa jagaa detaa hai

aisi duniyaa mein kab tak guzaaraa karein tum hi kah do ki kaise gavaaraa karein
raat mujh se miri bebasi ne kahaa bebasi ke liye ek taaza ghazal

ye raat yunhi basar ho gai to kyaa hogaa
tire baghair sahar ho gai to kyaa hogaa

tum aake lauT gae phir bhi ho yahin maujud
tumhaare jism ki khushbu mire makaan mein hai

is balaa ko to khudaa jald kare shahr-badar
kaale paani ko ravaana shab-e-hijraan ho jaae
