jhuuT ke aage pichhe dariyaa chalte hain — Waseem Barelvi

ham ye to nahin kahte ki ham tujh se baDe hain
lekin ye bahut hai ki tire saath khaDe hain

tahrir se varna miri kyaa ho nahin saktaa
ik tu hai jo lafzon mein adaa ho nahin saktaa

raat to vaqt ki paaband hai Dhal jaaegi
dekhnaa ye hai charaaghon kaa safar kitnaa hai

bhare makaan kaa bhi apnaa nasha hai kyaa jaane
sharaab-khaane mein raatein guzaarne vaalaa

shartein lagaai jaati nahin dosti ke saath
kiije mujhe qubul miri har kami ke saath

hamaare ghar kaa pataa puchhne se kyaa haasil
udaasiyon ki koi shahriyat nahin hoti

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

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

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

main jis mein rah na sakaa ji-huzuriyon ke sabab
ye aadmi hai usi kaamyaab mausam kaa
