bahut se rog duaa maangne se jaate hain — Khursheed Rizvi

is e'tiraaf se ras ghul rahaa hai kaanon mein
vo e'tiraaf jo us ne abhi kiyaa bhi nahin

bas dariche se lage baiThe rahe ahl-e-safar
sabza jaltaa rahaa aur yaad-e-vatan aati rahi

maut ki ek alaamat hai agar dekhaa jaae
ruuh kaa chaar anaasir pe savaari karnaa

jo tamaam umr rahaa sabab ki talaash mein
vo tiri nigaah mein be-sabab nahin aa sakaa

ham teri tabiat ko 'khurshid' nahin samjhe
patthar nazar aataa thaa royaa to bahut royaa

jo shakhs na royaa thaa tapti hui raahon mein
divaar ke saae mein baiThaa to bahut royaa

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

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

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

na jaane us ne khule aasmaan mein kyaa dekhaa
parinda phir se jahaan-e-qafas mein lauT aayaa
