jab bhi kashti miri sailaab mein aa jaati hai — Munawwar Rana

miTTi kaa badan kar diyaa miTTi ke havaale
miTTi ko kahin taaj-mahal mein nahin rakkhaa

ab aap ki marzi hai sambhaalein na sambhaalein
khushbu ki tarah aap ke rumaal mein ham hain

kisi ke zakhm par chaahat se paTTi kaun baandhegaa
agar bahnein nahin hongi to raakhi kaun baandhegaa

kuchh nahin hogaa to aanchal mein chhupaa legi mujhe
maan kabhi sar pe khuli chhat nahin rahne degi

kuchh bikhri hui yaadon ke qisse bhi bahut the
kuchh us ne bhi baalon ko khulaa chhoD diyaa thaa

ye soch ke maan baap ki khidmat mein lagaa huun
is peD kaa saayaa mire bachchon ko milegaa

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

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

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

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad
