ik salib-e-vaqt par sayyad himaayat mein miri — Farhan Saiyed

ziyaa'-e-vaqt hai aisi ziyaa bhi
bahut is mein ziyaan rakkhaa huaa hai

kisi bhi kaam kaa chhoDaa nahin mujhe jis ne
vo shakhs aaj mujhe ek kaam kah rahaa hai

jitnaa tumhaaraa zarf hai mil jaaungaa tumhein
dariyaa bhi meraa ruup hai qatra bhi dastyaab

milti nahin hai chiiz koi bhi jagah pe ab
main apne ham-safar ki nafaasat se tang huun

us ki tarkib mat badal 'sayyad'
tu use hasb-e-zaaiqa na banaa

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

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

kaho kyaa mehrbaan naa-mehrbaan taqdir hoti hai
kahaa maan ki duaaon mein baDi taasir hoti hai

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

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