tamaam phuul mahakne lage hain khil khil kar — Zafar Moradabadi

yunhi kisi ki koi bandagi nahin kartaa
buton ke chehron pe tevar khudaa ke rakkhe the

khush-gumaan har aasraa be-aasraa saabit huaa
zindagi tujh se ta'alluq khokhlaa saabit huaa

miri ummid kaa suraj ki teri aas kaa chaand
diye tamaam hi rukh par havaa ke rakkhe the

baDhe kuchh aur kisi iltijaa se kam na hue
mire harif tumhaari duaa se kam na hue

kaarvaan se jo bhi bichhDaa gard-e-sahraa ho gayaa
TuuT kar patte kab apni shaakh par vaapas hue

kyaa khabar kis moD par bikhre mataa-e-ehtiyaat
pattharon ke shahr mein huun aaina oDhe hue

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

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

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

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

hasin khvaab ko sachchaa samajh rahaa hai koi
faqat gumaan ko duniyaa samajh rahaa hai koi
