chali hai mauj mein kaaghaz ki kashti — Saleem Ahmed

ye nahin hai ki navaaze na gae hon ham log
ham ko sarkaar se tamgha milaa rusvaai kaa

— Saleem Ahmed

main gham ko basaa rahaa huun dil mein
be-ghar ko makaan de rahaa huun

ghar mein kuchh kam hai ye ehsaas bhi hotaa hai 'salim'
ye bhi khultaa nahin kis shai ki kami lagti hai

— Saleem Ahmed

jaane andar kyaa huaa main shor sun kar ai 'salim'
us jagah pahunchaa to dekhaa band vo darvaaza thaa

— Saleem Ahmed

ik aag si jalti rahi taa-umr lahu mein
ham apne hi ehsaas mein pakte rahe taa-der

— Saleem Ahmed

khush-numaa lafzon ki rishvat de ke raazi kijiye
ruuh ki tauhin par aamaada rahtaa hai badan

sab ummidein mire aashob-e-tamannaa tak thiin
bastiyaan ho gaiin gharqaab to dariyaa utraa

mujid jo nuur kaa hai vo meraa charaagh hai
parvaana huun main anjuman-e-kaaenaat kaa

dil ki lahron kaa tul-o-arz na puchh
kabhu dariyaa kabhu safinaa hai

chaand hai paani mein yaa bhule hue chehre kaa aks
saahil-e-dariyaa pe dekho main bhi hairaani mein huun
