vaamaandgaan-e-raah to manzil pe jaa paDe — 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

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

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

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

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