Thukraa ke chale aae khuddaar tabiat hai — Jamal Abbas Fahmi

sar ko neza nasib hotaa hai
sarfaraazi yunhi nahin milti

dosti ik din dushman se ho sakti hai
soch ke ye laDne kaa iraada chhoD diyaa

jab khatm hui dil se isaar ki gunjaaish
aangan mein nikal aai divaar ki gunjaaish

koi dast-e-masihaai karam-andaaz hone tak
namak-paashi kaa zakhmon ko maza bhi lag chukaa hogaa

tujh se milne kaa bahaana to koi chaahiye thaa
ham ne vo ek bahaana kabhi DhunDaa hi nahin

koi to aisaa ho jis se main dil ki baat karun
so apne aap se hi baat kartaa rahtaa huun

jhaankte raat ke garebaan se
ham ne sau aaftaab dekhe hain

shor din ko nahin sone detaa
shab ko sannaaTaa jagaa detaa hai

raushni ho rahi hai kuchh mahsus
kyaa shab aakhir tamaam ko pahunchi

shikva-e-zulmat-e-shab se to kahin behtar thaa
apne hisse ki koi shama jalaate jaate

ai soz-e-jaan-gudaaz abhi main javaan huun
ai dard-e-laa-ilaaj ye umr-e-shabaab hai

aadhi se ziyaada shab-e-gham kaaT chukaa huun
ab bhi agar aa jaao to ye raat baDi hai
