asaatiza ne miraa haath thaam rakkhaa hai — Ishaq Virdag

khairaat mein de aayaa huun jiiti hui baazi
duniyaa ye samajhti hai ki main haar gayaa huun

kisi ki yaad manaane mein iid guzregi
so shahr-e-dil mein bahut duur tak udaasi hai

aisi taraqqi par to ronaa bantaa hai
jis mein dahshat-gard corona bantaa hai

baazaar hain khaamosh to galiyon pe hai sakta
ab shahr mein tanhaai kaa Dar bol rahaa hai

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

safar mein aise kai marhale bhi aate hain
har ek moD pe kuchh log chhuT jaate hain

yuun to maujud apne ghar mein hai
aadmi mustaqil safar mein hai

miri tamannaa hai ab ke tum phir milo to ji bhar ke muskuraaein
ki dekhnaa hai ye raushni kaa safar bahut der baa'd jaa kar

ai dil na kar qubul mire dil na kar qubul
manzil shikast-e-shauq hai manzil na kar qubul

unhin raaston ne jin par kabhi tum the saath mere
mujhe rok rok puchhaa tiraa ham-safar kahaan hai
