nahin ye aadmi kaa kaam vaaiz — Bayan Meeruthi

dil aayaa hai qayaamat hai miraa dil
uThe taazim de joban kisi kaa

yaad mein khvaab mein tasavvur mein
aa ki aane ke hain hazaar tariq

kabhi hansaayaa kabhi rulaayaa kabhi rulaayaa kabhi hansaayaa
jhijak jhijak kar simaT simaT kar lipaT lipaT kar dabaa dabaa kar

lahu Tapkaa kisi ki aarzu se
hamaari aarzu Tapki lahu se

adaaein taa-abad bikhri paDi hain
azal mein phaT paDaa joban kisi kaa

shaikh ke maathe pe miTTi barhaman ke bar mein but
aadmi dair-o-haram se khaak patthar le chalaa

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

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

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

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad
