abhi armaan kuchh baaqi hain dil mein — Shakeb Jalali

aalam mein jis ki dhuum thi us shaahkaar par
dimak ne jo likhe kabhi vo tabsire bhi dekh

dil saa anmol ratan kaun kharidegaa 'shakeb'
jab bikegaa to ye be-daam hi bik jaaegaa

rote hain dil ke zakhm to hanstaa nahin koi
itnaa to faaeda mujhe tanhaaiyon se hai

khud apni aag se shaayad gudaaz ho jaaein
paraai aag se kab sang-dil pighalte hain

ham-safar rah gae bahut pichhe
aao kuchh der ko Thahar jaaein

jo motiyon ki talab ne kabhi udaas kiyaa
to ham bhi raah se kankar sameT laae bahut

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

badalte vaqt ne badle mizaaj bhi kaise
tiri adaa bhi gai meraa baankpan bhi gayaa

barsaat kaa baadal to divaana hai kyaa jaane
kis raah se bachnaa hai kis chhat ko bhigonaa hai

na ho ehsaas to saaraa jahaan hai be-his-o-murda
gudaaz-e-dil ho to dukhti ragein milti hain patthar mein
