hamaare biich vo chup-chaap baiThaa rahtaa hai — Aslam Aazad

doston ke saath din mein baiTh kar hanstaa rahaa
apne kamre mein vo jaa kar khuub royaa raat bhar

dhuup ke baadal baras kar jaa chuke the aur main
oDh kar shabnam ki chaadar chhat pe soyaa raat bhar

main ne apni khvaahishon kaa qatl khud hi kar diyaa
haath khun-aalud hain in ko abhi dhoyaa nahin

apnaa makaan bhi thaa usi moD par magar
jaane main kis khayaal mein auron ke ghar gayaa

na dasht o dar se alag thaa na jangalon se judaa
vo apne shahr mein rahtaa thaa phir bhi tanhaa thaa

koi divaar salaamat hai na ab chhat meri
khaana-e-khasta ki surat hui haalat meri

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

jinhein ye fikr nahin sar rahe rahe na rahe
vo sach hi kahte hain jab bolne pe aate hain

us ko sochun to dhyaan mein mere
khushbu aati hai pahli baarish ki

sunaa hai vo mire baare mein sochtaa hai bahut
khabar to hai hi magar mo'tabar zyaada nahin

maango samundaron se na saahil ki bhiik tum
haan fikr o fan ke vaaste gahraai maang lo

tere bin hayaat ki soch bhi gunaah thi
ham qarib-e-jaan tiraa hisaar dekhte rahe
