tujh se duuri aur qayaamat lagti hai — Saba Nusrat

kyaa zikr ki is ziist mein kuchh khoyaa ki paayaa
ab kuchh bhi to rakkhaa nahin is suud o ziyaan mein

umr bhar sang-zani karte rahe ahl-e-vatan
ye alag baat ki dafnaaeinge eazaaz ke saath

tiri zamin pe kartaa rahaa huun mazduri
hai sukhne ko pasina muaavza hai kahaan

tamannaa ik tarah ki jaan hai jo marte dam nikle
judaai ik tarah ki maut hai jo jite-ji aae

ham aaj hanste hue kuchh alag dikhaai diye
ba-vaqt-e-girya ham aise the, saare jaise hain

milnaa thaa ittifaaq bichhaDnaa nasib thaa
vo utni duur ho gayaa jitnaa qarib thaa

saalgirah par kitni nek tamannaaein mausul huiin
lekin in mein ek mubaarakbaad abhi tak baaqi hai
