ik nai tarz kaa kirdaar diyaa jaaegaa — Asad Awan

khud-bakhud chhoD gae hain to chalo Thiik huaa
itne ahbaab kahaan ham se sanbhaale jaate

nit-nayaa tu ne zamaane mein kharidaa badlaa
tere kahne pe kahaan ham ne aqida badlaa

umr-bhar maan ki nasihat pe zamaane mein 'asad'
faatima-zehraa ke bachchon se vafaadaari ki

is mohabbat ne hamein joD diyaa aapas mein
varna ham donon kaa ik jaisaa aqida to na thaa

koi to dekhe miri bebasi mohabbat mein
main aap apni jahaan mein hansi uDaataa phirun

guzar na jaae ye mausam basant kaa mausam
banafsha phuul khile har taraf zamin ke liye

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

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

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe
