ham se bichhDe hain kai log hamaare apne — Mohammad Yasir Mustafvi

udaasi anginat yaadein na jaane kitne bichhDe khvaab
kabhi dekhi hai yaaro tum ne vo aankhein december ki

ham to shaa'ir hain hamein vasl ki parvaah nahin
ham tujhe apne khayaalaat mein chhu lete hain

khud-kushi karne ko dariyaa ki taraf jaataa huun
aur mil jaataa hai har roz kinaare koi

samar kaa chaahnaa hi sirf bejaa hai darakhton se
baraabar in darakhton ki hifaazat bhi zaruri hai

abhi to khuun bahaa hai firaaq mein tere
abhi ye jaan miri jaan ganvaanaa baaqi hai

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

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

ghulaami mein na kaam aati hain shamshirein na tadbirein
jo ho zauq-e-yaqin paidaa to kaT jaati hain zanjirein

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

aasmaan jhaank rahaa hai 'khaalid'
chaand kamre mein mire utraa hai
