kyaa khabar kaun saa rasta tiri jaanib nikle — Badr Muneer

muskuraa kar agar vo dekhe to
aaine par nishaan paD jaae

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

ek ummid ke sahaare par
kitni taakhir dekh lete 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

paD jaate hain kitne chhaale haathon mein
aate hain phir chand nivaale haathon mein

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

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

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

umr bhar dekhaa kiye marne ki raah
mar gae par dekhiye dikhlaaein kyaa

nahin milti unhein manzil jinhein khauf-e-havaadis hai
jo maujon se nahin Darte nadi ko paar karte hain
