akelaa us ko na chhoDaa jo ghar se niklaa vo — Nazeer Akbar Abadi

jise mol lenaa ho le le khushi se
main is vaqt donon jahaan bechtaa huun

ghash khaa ke giraa pahle hi shoale ki jhalak se
muusaa ko bhalaa kahiye to kyaa tuur ki sujhi

mai bhi hai miinaa bhi hai saaghar bhi hai saaqi nahin
dil mein aataa hai lagaa dein aag mai-khaane ko ham

dekhe na mujhe kyunkar az-chashm-e-hiqaarat-u
vo sarv-e-javaan yaaro man-faakhta-e-piram

mazmun-e-sard-mehri-e-jaanaan raqam karun
gar haath aae kaaghaz-e-kashmir kaa varaq

vo aap se ruThaa nahin manne kaa 'nazir' aah
kyaa dekhe hai chal paanv paD aur us ko manaa laa

naaz kar naaz tire naaz pe hai naaz mujhe
meri tanhaai hai partav tiri yaktaai kaa

mohabbat karne vaale dard mein tanhaa nahin hote
jo ruThoge kabhi mujh se to apnaa dil dukhaaoge

yaar tanhaa ghar mein hai afsos lekin ham nahin
huur to hai gulshan-e-firdaus mein aadam nahin

khalq be-parvaa khudaa bandon se tang aayaa huaa
main akelaa phir rahaa huun hashr ke maidaan mein

chaman kharaab kiyaa, ho khizaan kaa khaana-kharaab
na gul rahaa hai na bulbul hai baaghbaan tanhaa

miri tanhaaiyon ko kaun samjhe
main saaya huun magar khud se judaa huun
