yuun ehtimaam-e-radd-e-sahar kar diyaa gayaa — Sattar Syed

kab ban-baas kaTe is shahar ke logon kaa
qufl khulein kab jaane band makaanon ke

samundaron ko sikhaataa hai kaun tarz-e-khiraam
zamin ki tah mein khazaane kahaan se aate hain

sahar ko saath uDaa le gai sabaa jaise
ye kis ne kar diye raste dhuaan dhuaan mere

lahu mein phuul khilaane kahaan se aate hain
nae khayaal na jaane kahaan se aate hain

shaayad ab khatm huaa chaahtaa hai ahd-e-sukut
harf-e-eajaaz ki taasir se lab jaagte hain

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

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

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

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

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad
