ab jo chaaho vo faisla kar lo — Khalid Nadeem Budauni

titli bhaunre kaliyaan phuul
is ke sab divaane the

khud apni shai pe adhuraa hai ikhtiyaar mujhe
giraa to saktaa huun aansu uThaa nahin saktaa

yuun bhi aankhon se nikalne nahin detaa aansu
ashk-e-gham teraa tasavvur na bahaa le jaae

vo ek shakhs to patthar uchhaal kar chup hai
samundaron se abhi tak sadaaein aati hain

kaise hasti ke samundar kaa talaatum Thahre
zindagi bhar yahi tadbir-e-bashar hoti hai
