ham dozakh-e-ehsaas mein jalte hi raheinge — Syed Ahmed Shameem

jinhein ye fikr nahin sar rahe rahe na rahe
vo sach hi kahte hain jab bolne pe aate hain

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

gaaDi mein bhi ghar ko soche jaataa huun
gaaDi aage aur main pichhe jaataa huun

reg-e-dil mein kai naadida parinde bhi hain dafn
sochte honge ki dariyaa ki ziyaarat kar jaaein

apni taaid pe khud aql bhi hairaan hui
dil ne aise mire khvaabon ki himaayat ki hai

parinde sab nahin zindaan mein maare gae hain
qafas mein kuchh to kuchh naql-e-makaani mein mare hain
