zamin pe sirf utaaraa nahin 'munir' us ne — 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

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

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

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

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

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

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad
