ham duniyaa se jab tang aayaa karte hain — Taimur Hasan

phir jo karne lagaa hai tu vaada
kyaa mukarne kaa phir iraada hai

miri tavajjoh faqat mire kaam par rahegi
main khud ko saabit karungaa daavaa nahin karungaa

safar mein hoti hai pahchaan kaun kaisaa hai
ye aarzu thi mire saath tu safar kartaa

zindagi jang hai aasaab ki aur ye bhi suno
ishq aasaab ko mazbut banaa detaa hai

main ne bakhsh di tiri kyuun khataa tujhe ilm hai
tujhe di hai kitni kaDi sazaa tujhe ilm hai

zindagi bhar ki riyaazat miri be-kaar gai
ik khayaal aayaa thaa badle mein vo kyaa detaa hai

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

ghazal mein jab talak ehsaas ki shiddat na ho shaamil
faqat alfaaz ki kaarigari mahsus hoti hai

gul kiyaa jis ne vo thaa aur magar
shama ne shikva havaaon se kiyaa

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge

ufuq pe yaadon ke zard aanchal mein lipTaa suraj
aur us pe shaamon ke saath Dhalti 'ajib si chup

main chaahe us mein nahin huun shaamil
magar vo dil ke nisaab mein hai
