shaayad abhi kami si masihaaiyon mein hai — Gulnar Aafreen

kyaa baat hai kyuun shahr mein ab ji nahin lagtaa
haalaanki yahaan apne paraae bhi vahi hain

saudaa hai zamiron kaa har gaam tijaarat hai
chup huun to qayaamat hai bolun to baghaavat hai

kin shahidon ke lahu ke ye farozaan hain charaagh
raushni si jo hai zindaan ke har ik rauzan mein

ek parchhaain tasavvur ki mire saath rahe
main tujhe bhulun magar yaad mujhe tu aae

safar kaa rang hasin qurbaton kaa haamil ho
bahaar ban ke koi ab to ham-safar aae

'gulnaar' maslahat ki zabaan mein na baat kar
vo zahr pi ke dekh jo sachchaaiyon mein hai

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

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

aisi taraqqi par to ronaa bantaa hai
jis mein dahshat-gard corona bantaa hai

aadat ke baa'd dard bhi dene lagaa mazaa
hans hans ke aah aah kiye jaa rahaa huun main
