apne kaandhe pe liye phirti hai ehsaas kaa bojh — Tanveer Samani

farzi qisson jhuTi baaton se akasr
sachchaai ke qad ko naapaa kartaa huun

gharon mein qaid hain basti ke shorafaa
saDak par hain fasaadi aur ghunDe

kyuun na 'tanvir' phir izhaar ki jurat kiije
khaamushi bhi to yahaan baais-e-rusvaai hai

apni surat bhi kab apni lagti hai
aainon mein khud ko dekhaa kartaa huun

fikr ki aanch mein pighle to ye maalum huaa
kitne pardon mein chhupi zaat ki sachchaai hai

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

idhar to tuul diyaa hai umiid ko us ne
udhar hayaat ataa ki hai mukhtasar mujh ko

meri saari zindagi ko be-samar us ne kiyaa
umr meri thi magar us ko basar us ne kiyaa

jiinaa taDap taDap kar marnaa sisak sisak kar
fariyaad ek ji hai kyaa kyaa kharaabiyon mein

bas ek pal ki tamannaa-e-vasl ki khaatir
tamaam 'umr lagaa di gai sanvarne mein

zindagi tu bhi hamein vaise hi ik roz guzaar
jis tarah ham tujhe barson se guzaare hue hain
