sikhaa na duaaon mein qanaaat kaa saliqa — Asim Wasti

log kahte hain ki vo shakhs hai khushbu jaisaa
saath shaayad use le aae havaa dekhte hain

nahin vo sham-e-mohabbat rahi to phir 'aasim'
ye kis duaa se mire ghar mein raushni si hai

tu mire paas jab nahin hotaa
tujh se kartaa huun kis qadar baatein

miri zabaan ke mausam badalte rahte hain
main aadmi huun miraa e'tibaar mat karnaa

badal gayaa hai zamaana badal gai duniyaa
na ab vo main huun miri jaan na ab vo tu tu hai

kahin kahin to zamin aasmaan se unchi hai
ye raaz mujh pe khulaa siDhiyaan utarte hue

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

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

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

hasin khvaab ko sachchaa samajh rahaa hai koi
faqat gumaan ko duniyaa samajh rahaa hai koi
