main charaagh se jalaa charaagh huun — Irshad Khan Sikandar

muddaton aankhein vazu karti rahin ashkon se
tab kahin jaa ke tiri diid ke qaabil huaa main

tum ne dekhaa nahin adaakaaron
un kaa chehra mire savaal ke baa'd

saare khvaabon ke intiqaal ke baa'd
aap aur vo bhi itne saal ke baa'd

zamaane par to khul kar hans rahaa thaa
tire chhute hi ro baiThaa hai paagal

hamin tum se hamesha milne aaein kyuun
tumhaare paanv mein mehndi lagi hai kyaa

mujh ko miTTi mein boyaa gayaa
meri miTTi shajar ho gai
