vo kaafir-nigaahein khudaa ki panaah — Azad Ansari

ham ko na mil sakaa to faqat ik sukun-e-dil
ai zindagi vagarna zamaane mein kyaa na thaa

didaar ki talab ke tariqon se be-khabar
didaar ki talab hai to pahle nigaah maang

afsos be-shumaar sukhan-haa-e-guftani
khauf-e-fasaad-e-khalq se naa-gufta rah gae

sazaaein to har haal mein laazmi thiin
khataaein na kar ke pashemaaniyaan hain

banda-parvar main vo banda huun ki bahr-e-bandagi
jis ke aage sar jhukaa dungaa khudaa ho jaaegaa

talab-e-aashiq-e-saadiq mein asar hotaa hai
go zaraa der mein hotaa hai magar hotaa hai
