sitaare dekhne vaale hamein bataate hain — Haseebul Hasan

hamaare aansu kisi Thikaane to lag rahe hain
furaat ke bad-nasib paani kaa kyaa banegaa

tumhaari aankhon pe nazm kahne se pahle ham ne bhigoi aankhein
sunaa huaa thaa zamin nam ho to achchhi hoti hai kaasht-kaari

ham aise log zaaea ho rahe hain
khudaa chup-chaap dekhe jaa rahaa hai

us ke meaar par khudaa laae
us nazar tak to aa gae hain ham

use bataanaa parinde use bulaate hain
use bataanaa ki shaair udaas hai us kaa

ye saath gaanv mein ek chhoTaa saa kaam hai bas
miri udaasi udaas mat ho main aa rahaa huun

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

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

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

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

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad
