zindagi di hisaab se us ne — Ejaz Ansari

tamaam shahr se main jang jiit saktaa huun
magar main tum se bichhaDte hi haar jaaungaa

sar uThaate hain yahaan bhi asr-e-haazir ke yazid
kal ye khitta bhi mahaaz-e-karbalaa ho jaaegaa

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

chali samt-e-ghaib siin kyaa havaa ki chaman zuhur kaa jal gayaa
magar ek shaakh-e-nihaal-e-gham jise dil kaho so hari rahi

dard-e-dil kitnaa pasand aayaa use
main ne jab ki aah us ne vaah ki

mere kamre mein udaasi hai qayaamat ki magar
ek tasvir puraani si hansaa karti hai
