ye sadaa aa rahi hai qabron se — Mahwar Sirsivi

vo apne ‘abd-e-haqiqi ko aazmaataa hai
har ik bashar kaa yahaan imtihaan nahin hotaa

vaqt ke paanv bhi nahin mehvar
aur raftaar bhi ghazab ki hai

ghaur se dekhnaa hanste hue chehre ki taraf
ek manzar pas-e-manzar kai manzar degaa

aaj gar bole nahin haq baat par
kal sitam honge tumhaari zaat par

ulfat to dekhiye miri didaar ke sabab
darvesh ban ke yaar ki chaukhaT pe aa gayaa

ek muddat se niind taari hai
ek muddat se so nahin paae

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

hamaari maazarat ai gham ki muskuraa rahe hain
ham apnaa haath tiri pusht se haTaa rahe hain

itni na intishaar ki hiddat ho ru-ba-ru
insaan gham-e-hayaat mein jaltaa dikhaai de

jhuTi mahfil hai jhuTi tanhaai
ik tire 'ishq kaa bharam sachchaa
