apni naakaamiyon pe aakhir-e-kaar — Qamar Jameel

ham sitaaron ki tarah Duub gae
din qayaamat ke intizaar mein hai

ek patthar ki dast-e-yaar mein hai
phuul banne ke intizaar mein hai

yaa allahabad mein rahiye jahaan sangam bhi ho
yaa banaras mein jahaan har ghaaT par sailaab hai

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

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

jo ghair the vo isi baat par hamaare hue
ki ham se dost bahut be-khabar hamaare hue

barseingi aaj rahmatein aamad hai yaar ki
naayaab hain ye ghaDiyaan tire intizaar ki

yaar bhi raah ki divaar samajhte hain mujhe
main samajhtaa thaa mire yaar samajhte hain mujhe

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi
