Shakeel Badayuni
gham-e-ishq rah gaya hai gham-e-justuju men dhal kar
vo nazar se chhup gae hain miri zindagi badal kar
tiri guftugu ko naseh dil-e-gham-zada se jal kar
abhi tak to sun raha tha magar ab sambhal sambhal kar
na mila suragh-e-manzil kabhi umr bhar kisi ko
nazar aa gai hai manzil kabhi do qadam hi chal kar
gham-e-umr-e-mukhtasar se abhi be-khabar hain kaliyan
na chaman men phenk dena kisi phuul ko masal kar
hain kisi ke muntazir ham magar ai umid-e-mubham
kahin vaqt rah na jaae yunhi karvaten badal kar
mire dil ko raas aaya na jumud-o-ghair-fani
mili rah-e-zindagani mujhe khaar se nikal kar
miri tez-gamiyon se nahin barq ko bhi nisbat
kahin kho na jaae duniya mire saath saath chal kar
kabhi yak-ba-yak tavajjoh kabhi dafatan taghaful
mujhe aazma raha hai koi rukh badal badal kar
hain ‘shakil’ zindagi men ye jo vusaten numayan
inhin vusaton se paida koi alam-e-ghazal kar
