ajiib khauf kaa aalam hai apne chaaron taraf — Sayyed Riyaz Raheem

nazar rakhte hain us ki har adaa par
ba-zaahir be-khabar hote hue bhi

hamaare 'ahd mein kyon jahl kaa hai rutba buland
shikast khaai hui aagahi savaal uThaa

har subh nikalte hain yahi soch ke ghar se
bikhri hui duniyaa ko sameTeinge kisi din

ab aur kyaa kahun main mohabbat ke baab mein
main un ke saath huun jo mohabbat ke saath hain

shor mein nafrat ke meri baat zaaea ho gai
meraa kahnaa aur thaa un kaa samajhnaa aur thaa

kitnaa dushvaar lag rahaa thaa safar
dekho ham aa gae vahaan se yahaan

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

miri tamannaa hai ab ke tum phir milo to ji bhar ke muskuraaein
ki dekhnaa hai ye raushni kaa safar bahut der baa'd jaa kar

safar mein aise kai marhale bhi aate hain
har ek moD pe kuchh log chhuT jaate hain

yuun to maujud apne ghar mein hai
aadmi mustaqil safar mein hai

isi hasrat mein kaTi raah-e-hayaat
koi do-chaar qadam saath chale

ye dasht vo hai jahaan raasta nahin miltaa
abhi se lauT chalo ghar abhi ujaalaa hai
