miri samt manzil ko baDhte jo dekhaa — Raaz Muradabadi

dil ki be-kaifiyon ko kyaa kiije
fasl-e-gul hai magar bahaar nahin

khud kiyaa tark-e-ta'alluq ham se
khud hi ranjur hue jaate hain

allah-re iltifaat-o-nadaamat ki saazishein
nazrein milin talaafi-e-maafaat ho gai

rukte nahin hain paa-e-jihat-aashnaa kahin
manzil bhi ek sang-e-nishaan rah-guzar mein hai

kisi ke vaada-e-sabr-aazmaa ki khair ki ham
ab e'tibaar ki had se guzarte jaate hain

vo kyaa chhuTe hayaat ke 'unvaan badal gae
duniyaa samajh rahi hai abhi ji rahaa huun main

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

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

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

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge
