tiis chaalis din to kaaT diye — Manzoor Hashmi

yaqin ho to koi raasta nikaltaa hai
havaa ki oT bhi le kar charaagh jaltaa hai

qubul kaise karun un kaa faisla ki ye log
mire khilaaf hi meraa bayaan maangte hain

sunaa hai sachchi ho niyat to raah khulti hai
chalo safar na karein kam se kam iraada karein

kabhi kabhi to kisi ajnabi ke milne par
bahut puraanaa koi silsila nikaltaa hai

ik zamaana hai havaaon ki taraf
main charaaghon ki taraf ho jaaun

hadaf bhi mujh ko banaanaa hai aur mere harif
mujhi se tiir mujhi se kamaan maangte hain
