tang paimaai kaa shikva saaqi-e-azali se kiyaa — Jitendra Mohan Sinha Rahbar

dozakh se bhi kharaab kahun main bahisht ko
do-chaar agar vahaan pe bhi sarmaaya-daar hon

ek aansu bhi agar ro de to jaanun tujh ko
meri taqdir mujhe dekh kar hansti kyaa hai

rashk-e-jinaan chaman ko banaanaa basant kaa
har har kali mein rang dikhaanaa basant kaa

har samt sabza-zaar bichhaanaa basant kaa
phulon mein rang-o-bu ko luTaanaa basant kaa

tu ne hi rah na dikhaai to dikhaaegaa kaun
ham tiri raah mein gumraah hue baiThe hain

qudrat ki barkatein hain khazaana basant kaa
kyaa khuub kyaa ajiib zamaana basant kaa

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

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