yahi ik saaneha kuchh kam nahin hai — Obaidur Rahman

koi dimaagh se koi sharir se haaraa
mein apne haath ki andhi lakir se haaraa

mere jazbaat aansuon vaale
sher sab hichkiyon se likhtaa huun

bachchon ko ham na ek khilaunaa bhi de sake
gham aur baDh gayaa hai jo tyauhaar aae hain

hamein hijrat samajh mein itni aai
parinda aab-o-daana chaahtaa hai

nazar mein duur talak rahguzar zaruri hai
kisi bhi samt ho lekin safar zaruri hai

aangan aangan khuun ke chhinTe chehra chehra be-chehra
kis kis ghar kaa zikr karun mein kis kis ke sadmaat likhun

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

main ne apni palkon par gham-kade sajaae hain
aarzu ke maatam mein sogvaar hasti hai

ham haal to kah sakte hain apnaa pa kahein kyaa
jab vo idhar aate hain to tanhaa nahin aate
