ab ku-e-sanam chaar qadam hi kaa safar hai — Umar Farooq

uTThe jo tere dar se to duniyaa simaT gai
baiThe the tere dar pe zamaana liye hue

mujhe kharid rahe hain mire sabhi apne
main bik to jaaun magar saamne to aae koi

badan kaa bojh uThaanaa bhi ab muhaal huaa
jo khud se haar ke baiThe to phir ye haal huaa

mire maalik mujhe is khaak se be-ghar na karnaa
mohabbat ke safar mein chalte chalte thak gayaa huun main

hamein to TuuTi hui kashtiyaan nahin dikhtin
hamaare ghar se hi dariyaa dikhaai detaa hai

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

miri tamannaa hai ab ke tum phir milo to ji bhar ke muskuraaein
ki dekhnaa hai ye raushni kaa safar bahut der baa'd jaa kar

safar mein aise kai marhale bhi aate hain
har ek moD pe kuchh log chhuT jaate hain

kin manzilon luTe hain mohabbat ke qaafile
insaan zamin pe aaj gharib-ul-vatan saa hai

yuun to maujud apne ghar mein hai
aadmi mustaqil safar mein hai

dimaagh un ke tajassus mein jism ghar mein rahaa
main apne ghar hi mein rahte hue safar mein rahaa
