kyaa zaruri hai ju-e-shir ki baat — Haidar Ali Jafri

sabhi to dost hain kyuun shak abas huaa mujh ko
kisi ke haath kaa patthar miri talaash mein hai

aae Thahre aur ravaana ho gae
zindagi kyaa hai, safar ki baat hai

khuun mazdur kaa miltaa jo na taamiron mein
na haveli na mahal aur na koi ghar hotaa

kis ki sadaa fazaaon mein gunji hai chaar-su
kis ne mujhe pukaaraa hai bachpan ke naam se

bhulaa na paayaa use jis ko bhuul jaanaa thaa
vafaaon se miraa rishta bahut puraanaa thaa

khinch detaa main zamaane pe mohabbat ke nuqush
mere qabze mein agar khaama-e-shahpar hotaa
