uf vo marmar se taraashaa huaa shaffaaf badan — Qateel Shifai

abhi to baat karo ham se doston ki tarah
phir ikhtilaaf ke pahlu nikaalte rahnaa

aakhri hichki tire zaanun pe aae
maut bhi main shaairaana chaahtaa huun

apne haathon ki lakiron mein sajaa le mujh ko
main huun teraa tu nasib apnaa banaa le mujh ko

nikal kar dair-o-kaaba se agar miltaa na but-khaana
to Thukraae hue insaan khudaa jaane kahaan jaate

kyuun sharik-e-gham banaate ho kisi ko ai 'qatil'
apni suuli apne kaandhe par uThaao chup raho

ab jis ke ji mein aae vahi paae raushni
ham ne to dil jalaa ke sar-e-aam rakh diyaa
