ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad — Muzaffar Abdali

rah-guzar kaa hai taqaazaa ki abhi aur chalo
ek ummid jo manzil ke nishaan tak pahunchi

kashtiyaan likhti rahein roz kahaani apni
mauj kahti hi rahi zer-o-zabar main hi huun

bahaknaa meri fitrat mein nahin par
sambhalne mein pareshaani bahut hai

khudaa bhi kaisaa huaa khush mire qarine par
mujhe shahid kaa darja milaa hai jiine par

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

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

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

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge
