zaruri kyaa har ik mahfil mein baiThein — Nida Fazli

ek be-chehra si ummid hai chehra chehra
jis taraf dekhiye aane ko hai aane vaalaa

kuchh bhi bachaa na kahne ko har baat ho gai
aao kahin sharaab piyein raat ho gai

apne lahje ki hifaazat kijiye
sher ho jaate hain naa-maalum bhi

ghi misri bhi bhej kabhi akhbaaron mein
kai dinon se chaae hai kaDvi yaa allaah

ye kyaa azaab hai sab apne aap mein gum hain
zabaan mili hai magar ham-zabaan nahin miltaa

yuun to qadam qadam pe hai divaar saamne
koi na ho to khud se ulajh jaanaa chaahiye
