khudaa ki khamoshi mein shaayad ho us kaa vajud — Riyaz Latif

kabhi to manzaron ke is tilism se ubhar sakun
khaDaa huun dil ki sath par khud apne intizaar mein

kisi ne ham ko ataa nahin ki hamaari gardish hai apni gardish
khud apni marzi se is jahaan ki ragon mein girdaab ham hue hain

bas lahu ki buund thi ehsaas mein
phir ugaayaa dasht ne ik sar nayaa

zamin phail gai hai hamaari ruuh talak
jahaan kaa shor ab andar sunaai detaa hai

yahin par khatm honi chaahiye thi ek duniyaa
yahin se baat kaa aaghaaz honaa chaahiye thaa

baad mein rakhe saraabon ke dayaaron mein qadam
pahle vo saans ki sarhad pe to aa kar dekhe

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

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

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

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

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

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