ik kaar-e-muhaal kar rahaa huun — Sarshar Siddiqui

main ne ibaadaton ko mohabbat banaa diyaa
aankhein buton ke saath rahin dil khudaa ke saath

ujDe hain kai shahar, to ye shahar basaa hai
ye shahar bhi chhoDaa to kidhar jaaoge logo

niind TuuTi hai to ehsaas-e-ziyaan bhi jaagaa
dhuup divaar se aangan mein utar aai hai

naa-mustajaab itni duaaein huiin ki phir
meraa yaqin bhi uTh gayaa rasm-e-duaa ke saath

'sarshaar' main ne ishq ke maani badal diye
is aashiqi mein pahle na thaa vasl kaa chalan

miri talab mein takalluf bhi inkisaar bhi thaa
vo nukta-sanj thaa sab mere hasb-e-haal diyaa

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

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

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

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

main jis mein rah na sakaa ji-huzuriyon ke sabab
ye aadmi hai usi kaamyaab mausam kaa
