aksar mire sheron ki sanaa karte rahe hain — Taleef Haidar

ye shahr apni isi haav-hu se zinda hai
tumhaari aur miri guftugu se zinda hai

ye teraa divaana raat gae maalum nahin kyuun pahron tak
aansu ki lakiron se kitne naqsh-e-jazbaat banaae hai

use kahaan hamein qaidi banaa ke rakhnaa thaa
hamin ko shauq nahin thaa kabhi rihaai kaa

bahut mushkil thaa mujh ko raah kaa hamvaar kar denaa
to main ne tai kiyaa is dasht ko divaar kar denaa

vo ek lamha jise tum ne mukhtasar jaanaa
ham aaise lamhe mein ik daastaan banaate hain

safar hi bas kaar-e-zindagi hai
azaab kyaa hai savaab kyaa hai
