samajh rahaa hai zamaana riyaa ke pichhe huun — Javed Shaheen

kis tarah be-mauj aur khaali ravaani se huaa
be-khabar dariyaa kahaan par apne paani se huaa

thoDaa saa kahin jama bhi rakh dard kaa paani
mausam hai koi khushk saa barsaat se aage

Dubne vaalaa thaa din shaam thi hone vaali
yuun lagaa miri koi chiiz thi khone vaali

kuchh zamaane ki ravish ne sakht mujh ko kar diyaa
aur kuchh bedard main us ko bhulaane se huaa

hisaab-e-dostaan karne hi se maalum ye hogaa
khasaare mein huun yaa ab main khasaare se nikal aayaa

judaa thi baam se divaar dar akelaa thaa
makin the khud mein magan aur ghar akelaa thaa

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

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

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

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

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