kaanTon ko pilaa ke khuun apnaa — Shahid Kabir

tabaah kar gai pakke makaan ki khvaahish
main apne gaanv ke kachche makaan se bhi gayaa

is soch mein zindagi bitaa di
jaagaa huaa huun ki so rahaa huun

be-sabab baat baDhaane ki zarurat kyaa hai
ham khafaa kab the manaane ki zarurat kyaa hai

mai-khaane ki baat na kar vaaiz mujh se
aanaa jaanaa teraa bhi hai meraa bhi

girne do tum mujhe miraa saaghar sambhaal lo
itnaa to mere yaar karo main nashe mein huun

zindagi ik aansuon kaa jaam thaa
pi gae kuchh aur kuchh chhalkaa gae

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

aaj bhi hai vahi maqaam aaj bhi lab pe un kaa naam
manzil-e-be-shumaar-gaam apne safar ko kyaa karun

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