ban gae insaan apni zaat mein jangal 'munir' — Badr Muneer

muskuraa kar agar vo dekhe to
aaine par nishaan paD jaae

kyaa khabar kaun saa rasta tiri jaanib nikle
be-iraada bhi kai baar safar karte hain

laD rahaa huun main akelaa kaar-zaar-e-hast mein
kar faraaham tu bhi zaalim apne hone kaa javaaz

be-chehra insaanon ki is basti mein
achchhaa hai aaine toD diye jaaein

uqaabi ruuh jab bedaar hoti hai zanaani mein
amaan shauhar ko phir milti nahin is daar-e-faani mein

kunj-e-hairat se chale dasht-e-ziyaan tak laae
kaun laa saktaa hai ham dil ko jahaan tak laae

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

gulaabon ke honTon pe lab rakh rahaa huun
use der tak sochnaa chaahtaa huun

gul kiyaa jis ne vo thaa aur magar
shama ne shikva havaaon se kiyaa

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

ai sanam tu vo kanhayyaa hai balaaein luun agar
baansuli ki tarah naalaan hon saraapaa ungliyaan
