sunaa rahi hai jise joD joD kar duniyaa — Khawer Eijaz

mire aur us ke biich ik dhund si maujud rahti hai
ye duniyaa aa rahi hai mere us ke darmiyaan shaayad

badal liyaa hai zaraa khvaab ke ilaaqe ko
makaan ko chhoD ke ab laa-makaan mein rahtaa huun

ye dil had se guzarnaa chaahtaa thaa
magar majbur ho kar rah gayaa hai

mire sehan par khulaa aasmaan rahe ki main
use dhuup chhaanv mein baanTanaa nahin chaahtaa

jahaan tum ho vahaan se duur paDti hai zamin meri
jahaan main huun vahaan se aasmaan nazdik paDtaa hai

mujhe is khvaab ne ik arse tak be-taab rakkhaa hai
ik unchi chhat hai aur chhat par koi mahtaab rakkhaa hai

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

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

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

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
