kyuun pashemaan ho agar vaada vafaa ho na sakaa — Ibrat Machlishahri

jab aa jaati hai duniyaa ghuum phir kar apne markaz par
to vaapas lauT kar guzre zamaane kyuun nahin aate

— Ibrat Machlishahri

zindagi kam paDhe pardesi kaa khat hai 'ibrat'
ye kisi tarah paDhaa jaae na samjhaa jaae

— Ibrat Machlishahri

sunaa hai Duub gai be-hisi ke dariyaa mein
vo qaum jis ko jahaan kaa amiir honaa thaa

— Ibrat Machlishahri

apni ghurbat ki kahaani ham sunaaein kis tarah
raat phir bachcha hamaaraa rote rote so gayaa

— Ibrat Machlishahri

zamin ke jism ko TukDon mein baanTne vaalo
kabhi ye ghaur karo kaaenaat kis ki hai

— Ibrat Machlishahri

vo yuun subut-e-uruj-o-zavaal detaa thaa
uThaa ke haath mein patthar uchhaal detaa thaa

— Ibrat Machlishahri

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

— Muzaffar Abdali

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

— Aabid Adeeb

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

— Aabid Adeeb

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

— Parveen Shakir

kaho kyaa mehrbaan naa-mehrbaan taqdir hoti hai
kahaa maan ki duaaon mein baDi taasir hoti hai

— Anjum Khaleeq

aasmaan jhaank rahaa hai 'khaalid'
chaand kamre mein mire utraa hai

— Khalid Sharif
