shauq mein pahni thi bas zanjir kyaa maa'lum thaa — Sifar Sharma

shamshir ba-kaf huun na koi jism mein jumbish
main kis ke muqaabil huun ki maaraa nahin jaataa

ye saare zakhmi gunge hain
ye saari duniyaa andhi hai

havaa hai aasmaan hai aag hai paani hai miTTi hai
nuqush-e-yaar gar hote to main duniyaa banaa letaa

kaanon mein gunjti hai vo aavaaz dam-ba-dam
ik haath rah gayaa hai kahin haath chhoD kar

kahte hain aise vaqt mein vaajib hai jhuuT bhi
tu jhuuT koi bol ki dil phir se ji uThe

nashsha-e-hosh chaDhaa jaataa hai rafta rafta
zindagi phir se hui jaati hai mubham mubham

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

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

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

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

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad
