shaakh se kaT kar alag hone kaa ham ko gham nahin — Waseem Malik

koi dastak koi aahaT na sadaa hai koi
duur tak ruuh mein phailaa huaa sannaaTaa hai

lutf ye hai ki usi shakhs ke mamnun hain ham
jis ki talvaar ne qiston mein hamein kaaTaa hai

kal saath thaa koi to dar o baam the raushan
tanhaa huun 'vasim' aaj to ghar kaaT rahaa hai

lagtaa hai judaa sab se kirdaar 'vasim' us kaa
vo shahr-e-mohabbat kaa baashinda nazar aae

jo shakhs miraa dast-e-hunar kaaT rahaa hai
naadaan hai shaadaab shajar kaaT rahaa hai

main is liye zinda huun ki main bol rahaa huun
duniyaa kisi gunge ki kahaani nahin likhti

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

bahut udaas hain divaarein unche mahlon ki
ye vo khanDar hain ki jin mein amiir rahte hain

khud apne dil ki sadaa teri dastakon si lagi
gumaan mein thaa teraa aanaa qayaas aisaa thaa

bazm se duur vo gaataa rahaa tanhaa tanhaa
so gayaa saaz pe sar rakh ke sahar se pahle
