barson mein bhi chhu jaae kisi ko to ghanimat — Ejaz Warsi

aap aae hain haal puchhaa hai
ham ne aise bhi khvaab dekhe hain

main us ke aib us ko bataataa bhi kis tarah
vo shakhs aaj tak mujhe tanhaa nahin milaa

raah-rau bach ke chal darakhton se
dhuup dushman nahin hai saae hain

chaDhte suraj ki mudaaraat se pahle 'ejaaz'
soch lo kitne charaagh us ne bujhaae honge

ai sang-e-aastaan mire sajdon ki laaj rakh
aayaa huun e'tiraaf-e-shikast-e-khudi liye

darbaanon tak ke chehre raunat se maskh hain
dast-e-talab liye hue phir bhi khaDe hain log

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

ham apne zakhmon pe rakh lein namak zaruri hai
dayaar-e-ishq mein un ki mahak zaruri hai

kyaa taajjub hai jo yaaron ne rifaaqat chhoDi
baiThtaa kaun hai girti hui divaar ke paas

har qadam pe naakaami har qadam pe mahrumi
ghaaliban koi dushman doston mein shaamil hai

yaar kyaa zindagi hai suraj ki
subh se shaam tak jalaa karnaa

itnaa bedaariyon se kaam na lo
dosto khvaab bhi zaruri hai
