ham apne jalte hue ghar ko kaise ro lete — Sarfraz Danish

chand lamhe ko tu khvaabon mein bhi aa kar jhaank le
zindagi tujh se mile kitne zamaane ho gae

hamaaraa sher bhi lauh-e-tilism hai shaayad
har ek rukh se hamein be-naqaab kartaa hai

gham kaa suraj to Dubtaa hi nahin
dhuup hi dhuup hai kidhar jaaein

shahr bhar ke aainon par khaak Daali jaaegi
aaj phir sachchaai ki surat chhupaa li jaaegi

tilism toD diyaa ik sharir bachche ne
miraa vajud udaasi kaa istiaaraa thaa

raat ki sarhad yaqinan aa gai
jism se saayaa judaa hone lagaa

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

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

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

aasmaan jhaank rahaa hai 'khaalid'
chaand kamre mein mire utraa hai

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

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