ek dariyaa ko dikhaai thi kabhi pyaas apni — Mirza Athar Zia

harim-e-dil mein Thahar yaa saraa-e-jaan mein ruk
ye sab makaan hain tere kisi makaan mein ruk

meri aankhon se bhi ik baar nikal
dekhun main teri ravaani paani

mujh mein thoDi si jagah bhi nahin nafrat ke liye
main to har vaqt mohabbat se bharaa rahtaa huun

teri dahliz pe iqraar ki ummid liye
phir khaDe hain tire inkaar ke maare hue log

main adhuraa saa huun us ke andar
aur vo shakhs mukammal mujh mein

main hi aaina-e-duniyaa mein chalaa aayaa huun
yaa chali aai hai duniyaa mire aaine mein

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

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

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

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

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

main jis mein rah na sakaa ji-huzuriyon ke sabab
ye aadmi hai usi kaamyaab mausam kaa
