kahaan jaati hain baarish ki duaaein — Sheen Kaaf Nizam

vahshat to sang-o-khisht ki tartib le gai
ab fikr ye hai dasht ki vusat bhi le na jaae

nikle kabhi na ghar se magar is ke baavajud
apni tamaam umr safar mein guzar gai

darvaaza koi ghar se nikalne ke liye de
be-khauf koi raasta chalne ke liye de

chubhan ye piiTh mein kaisi hai muD ke dekh to le
kahin koi tujhe pichhe se dekhtaa hogaa

gali ke moD se ghar tak andheraa kyuun hai 'nizaam'
charaagh yaad kaa us ne bujhaa diyaa hogaa

udaasi akele mein Dar jaaegi
ghaDi-do-ghaDi ko khushi bhej de

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe

maaein darvaazon par hain
baarish hone vaali hai

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

masjid abru mein teri mardumuk hai jiyun imaam
mu-e-mizhgaan muqtadi ho mil ke karte hain namaaz

fariyaad ai tasavvur-e-abru-e-dil-fareb
qible ki samt bhuul gayaa huun namaaz mein

bose gar ham ne liye hain to diye bhi tum ko
chhuT gae aap ke ehsaan se baraabar ho kar
