ye sukhe patte nahin zamaane pe tabsire hain — Hasan Shahnawaz Zaidi

rahnaa pal pal dhyaan mein
milnaa iid ke iid mein

vo mire kaase mein yaadein chhoD kar yuun chal diyaa
jis tarah alfaaz jaate hon muaani chhoD kar

chehron ko pairon se kuchal kar aage baDh jaanaa
jiit isi ko kahte hain to phir main haar gayaa

titliyaan phuul mein kyaa DhunDhti rahti hain sadaa
kyaa kahin baad-e-sabaa rakh gai paighaam tiraa

''jo bhi aave hai vo nazdik hi baiThe hai tire''
shisha-e-chashm mein kis kis ko utaaraa huaa hai

us ki aankhon mein mohabbat kaa gumaan tak nahin aaj
kaun si aag thi kal jis kaa dhuaan tak nahin aaj

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

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

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

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

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad
