vo pahle sirf miri aankh mein samaayaa thaa — Rehman Faris

miri to saari duniyaa bas tumhi ho
ghalat kyaa hai jo duniyaa-daar huun main

tere bin ghaDiyaan gini hain raat din
nau baras gyaarah mahine saat din

shajar ne puchhaa ki tujh mein ye kis ki khushbu hai
havaa-e-shaam-e-alam ne kahaa udaasi ki

tum to darvaaza khulaa dekh ke dar aae ho
tum ne dekhaa nahin divaar ko dar hone tak

kahaani khatm hui aur aisi khatm hui
ki log rone lage taaliyaan bajaate hue

mujh ko khud mein jagah nahin milti
tu hai maujud is qadar mujh mein

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

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

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

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe

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

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