ai shahr-e-sitam chhoD ke jaate hue logo — Azhar Adeeb

is liye main ne muhaafiz nahin rakkhe apne
mire dushman mire is jism se baahar kam hain

usi ne sab se pahle haar maani
vahi sab se dilaavar lag rahaa thaa

der lagti hai bahut lauT ke aate aate
aur vo itne mein hamein bhuul chukaa hotaa hai

ham ne ghar ki salaamti ke liye
khud ko ghar se nikaal rakkhaa hai

tu apni marzi ke sabhi kirdaar aazmaa le
mire baghair ab tiri kahaani nahin chalegi

hamaare naam ki takhti bhi un pe lag na saki
lahu mein gundh ke miTTi jo ghar banaae gae

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

miri tamannaa hai ab ke tum phir milo to ji bhar ke muskuraaein
ki dekhnaa hai ye raushni kaa safar bahut der baa'd jaa kar

yuun to maujud apne ghar mein hai
aadmi mustaqil safar mein hai

safar mein aise kai marhale bhi aate hain
har ek moD pe kuchh log chhuT jaate hain

ai adam ke musaafiro hoshiyaar
raah mein zindagi khaDi hogi

aap kaa koi safar be-samt be-manzil na ho
zindagi aisi na jiinaa jis kaa mustaqbil na ho
