har ek aankh mein aansu har ek lab pe fughaan — Fasih Akmal

hamin pe khatm hain jaur-o-sitam zamaane ke
hamaare baad use kis ki aarzu hogi

kitaabon se na daanish ki faraavaani se aayaa hai
saliqa zindagi kaa dil ki naadaani se aayaa hai

ab kisi aur kaa tum zikr na karnaa mujh se
varna ik khvaab jo aankhon mein hai mar jaaegaa

bahut si baatein zabaan se kahi nahin jaatin
savaal kar ke use dekhnaa zaruri hai

'umr-bhar 'ahd-e-ta'alluq ke nigah-daar rahe
apne baare mein koi khvaab na dekhaa ham ne

umr bhar milne nahin deti hain ab to ranjishein
vaqt ham se ruuTh jaane ki adaa tak le gayaa

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

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

hijr ki shab naala-e-dil vo sadaa dene lage
sunne vaale raat kaTne ki duaa dene lage

aadhi se ziyaada shab-e-gham kaaT chukaa huun
ab bhi agar aa jaao to ye raat baDi hai
