jab anjuman tavajjoh-e-sad-guftugu mein ho — Majeed Amjad

tire khayaal ke pahlu se uTh ke jab dekhaa
mahak rahaa thaa zamaane mein chaar-su tiraa gham

nigah uThi to zamaane ke saamne tiraa ruup
palak jhuki to mire dil ke ru-ba-ru tiraa gham

main roz idhar se guzartaa huun kaun dekhtaa hai
main jab idhar se na guzrungaa kaun dekhegaa

masih-o-khizr ki umrein nisaar hon us par
vo ek lamha jo yaaron ke darmiyaan guzre

salaam un pe tah-e-tegh bhi jinhon ne kahaa
jo teraa hukm jo teri razaa jo tu chaahe

har vaqt fikr-e-marg-e-gharibaana chaahiye
sehhat kaa ek pahlu marizaana chaahiye

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

zamaana sakht kam-aazaar hai ba-jaan-e-asad
vagarna ham to tavaqqo zyaada rakhte hain

chaahte hain khub-ruyon ko 'asad'
aap ki surat to dekhaa chaahiye

be-naam saa ye dard Thahar kyuun nahin jaataa
jo biit gayaa hai vo guzar kyuun nahin jaataa
