ye meri tamannaa hai pyaason ke main kaam aauun — Raaz Allahabadi

umr juun juun baDhti hai dil javaan hotaa hai
'raaz' ye hasin ghazlein in safed baalon mein

aashiyaan jal gayaa gulsitaan luT gayaa ham qafas se nikal kar kidhar jaaeinge
itne maanus sayyaad se ho gae ab rihaai milegi to mar jaaeinge

ashk-e-gham le ke aakhir kidhar jaaein ham aansuon ki yahaan koi qimat nahin
aap hi apnaa daaman baDhaa dijiye varna moti zamin par bikhar jaaeinge

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

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

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

main jis mein rah na sakaa ji-huzuriyon ke sabab
ye aadmi hai usi kaamyaab mausam kaa
