qaid kar ke ghar ke andar apni tanhaai ko main — Aziz Nabeel

charaagh ki thartharaati lau mein har os qatre mein har kiran mein
tumhaari aankhein kahaan nahin thiin tumhaaraa chehra kahaan nahin thaa

— Aziz Nabeel

roz dastak si koi detaa hai siine mein 'nabil'
roz mujh mein kisi aavaaz ke par khulte hain

— Aziz Nabeel

khaamushi TuTegi aavaaz kaa patthar bhi to ho
jis qadar shor hai andar kabhi baahar bhi to ho

— Aziz Nabeel

ek takhti amn ke paighaam ki
Taang diije unche minaaron ke beach

— Aziz Nabeel

phir nae saal ki sarhad pe khaDe hain ham log
raakh ho jaaegaa ye saal bhi hairat kaisi

— Aziz Nabeel

tumhaaraa saath agar ho to joD saktaa huun
vo silsila jo sar-e-daastaan TuuT gayaa

— Aziz Nabeel

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

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

ham haal to kah sakte hain apnaa pa kahein kyaa
jab vo idhar aate hain to tanhaa nahin aate

aarzu ke maatam mein sogvaar hasti hai
