tamaam din mujhe suraj ke saath chalnaa thaa — Iqbal Umar

duniyaa gharib jaan ke hansti thi 'mir' par
'iqbaal' mujh pe aise ye duniyaa hansi ki bas

jin par nisaar naqd-e-sukun naqd-e-jaan kiyaa
un se mile to aisi nadaamat hui ki bas

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

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

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

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge
