kis ki tanvir se jal uTThe basirat ke charaagh — Arshad Jamal Sarim

dekh ai meri zabun-haali pe hansne vaale
vaqt ki dhuup ne kis darja nikhaaraa mujh ko

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

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

zindagi tu bhi hamein vaise hi ik roz guzaar
jis tarah ham tujhe barson se guzaare hue hain

taa-umr tiraa naqsh-e-farozaan rahe mujh mein
ik zakhm ki surat mire maathe pe ubhar jaa

kyaa kahun kitnaa fuzun hai tere divaane kaa dukh
ik taraf jaane kaa gham hai ik taraf aane kaa dukh
