ai shaam-e-hijr-e-yaar miri tu gavaahi de — Azeem Haider Syed

libaas dekh ke itnaa hamein gharib na jaan
hamaaraa gham tiri imlaak se ziyaada hai

isi liye to haar kaa huaa nahin malaal tak
vo mere saath saath thaa uruuj se zavaal tak

chaman ujaaDne vaalo tumhein khudaa samjhe
tumhein na aai hayaa phuul to hamaare gae

baazaar-e-aarzu mein kaTi jaa rahi hai umr
ham ko kharid le vo kharidaar chaahiye

tu ne bhi saare zakhm kisi taur sah liye
main bhi bichhaD ke ji hi liyaa mar nahin gayaa

dene vaale tu mujhe niind na de khvaab to de
mujh ko mahtaab se aage bhi kahin jaanaa hai

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

saakinaan-e-shahr ab hoshyaar honaa chaahiye
member aur voter kaa kuchh meaar honaa chaahiye

saaf kahiye ki pyaar karte hain
ye nigaahon kaa qaul-e-mubham kyaa

jo ghair the vo isi baat par hamaare hue
ki ham se dost bahut be-khabar hamaare hue

log logon se dosti kar ke
kitnaa saste mein bech dete hain

ai adam ke musaafiro hoshiyaar
raah mein zindagi khaDi hogi
