chaman ujaaDne vaalo tumhein khudaa samjhe — Azeem Haider Syed

ai shaam-e-hijr-e-yaar miri tu gavaahi de
main tere saath saath rahaa ghar nahin gayaa

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

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

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

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

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

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