uf rahbaron mein aisaa koi raahbar nahin — Nasim Zahid

tujh ko hai naaqidin se nafrat
tere kamre mein aaina kyon hai

main sabr kar rahaa huun to zaalim hai taa'na-zan
us ko khabar nahin ki khudaa mere saath hai

kirdaar rahnumaa kaa mujhe lag rahaa hai yuun
talvaar jaise ho kisi paagal ke haath mein

use daulat kamaane ki havas thi
nazar se ab nazaara ho gai hai

mujhe khabar hai use aisaa dard hai 'zaahid'
jise davaa nahin rishvat sukun deti hai

aai vo rafta rafta taqaddus ki raah tak
phir yuun huaa ki niyyat-e-naaseh bigaD gai

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

miri tamannaa hai ab ke tum phir milo to ji bhar ke muskuraaein
ki dekhnaa hai ye raushni kaa safar bahut der baa'd jaa kar

yuun to maujud apne ghar mein hai
aadmi mustaqil safar mein hai

safar mein aise kai marhale bhi aate hain
har ek moD pe kuchh log chhuT jaate hain

jo shakhs na royaa thaa tapti hui raahon mein
divaar ke saae mein baiThaa to bahut royaa

lailaa chali thi haj ke liye jazb-e-ishq se
naaqa machal ke najd ki manzil mein rah gayaa
