hazaaron chaand sitaare chamak gae hote — Khaleel Mamoon

meri tarah se ye bhi sataayaa huaa hai kyaa
kyuun itne daagh dikhte hain mahtaab mein abhi

sab log hamein ek nazar aate hain
andaaza nahin hotaa hai ab chehron kaa

aisaa ho zindagi mein koi khvaab hi na ho
andhiyaari raat mein koi mahtaab hi na ho

tum nahin aaoge khabar hai hamein
phir bhi ham intizaar kar leinge

lafzon kaa khazaana bhi kabhi kaam na aae
baiThe rahein likhne ko tiraa naam na aae

vo buraai sab se meri kar rahe hain
kyuun nahin karte bayaan achchhaaiyon ko

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

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

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge
