jo chup rahaa to vo samjhegaa bad-gumaan mujhe — Iftikhar Imam Siddiqi

vo apni nafraton ko kahaan jaa ke baanTtaa
us ke liye to shahr mein aasaan main hi thaa

— Iftikhar Imam Siddiqi

ik musalsal dauD mein hain manzilein aur faasle
paanv to apni jagah hain raasta apni jagah

phir us ke baa'd ta'alluq mein faasle honge
mujhe sambhaal ke rakhnaa bichhaD na jaaun main

— Iftikhar Imam Siddiqi

dard ki saari tahein aur saare guzre haadse
sab dhuaan ho jaaeinge ik vaaqia rah jaaegaa

vo khvaab thaa bikhar gayaa khayaal thaa milaa nahin
magar ye dil ko kyaa huaa kyuun bujh gayaa pataa nahin

— Iftikhar Imam Siddiqi

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

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe

intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe
