Hamare Sar Pe Ye Aksar Ghazab Hota Hi Rahta Hai

Nabeel Ahmad Nabeel

hamare sar pe ye aksar ghazab hota hi rahta hai

lahu ummid ka ham se talab hota hi rahta hai

nikalti hi nahin dil se kabhi yaden mohabbat ki

sitam us dil pe apne roz-o-shab hota hi rahta hai

purane log rahte hain nigahon men sada meri

koi pesh-e-nazar nam-o-nasab hota hi rahta hai

koi surat tabahi ki nikalti rahti hai aksar

ujaḌne ka koi taaza sabab hota hi rahta hai

hamesha ḳhuun karte hain hamari arzuon ka

tamannaon ka nazrana talab hota hi rahta hai

ye laḌna aur jhagaḌna hai sabhi ma.amul ki baten

ḳhafa ham se vo aksar be-sabab hota hi hota hai

sitaron ki taraf uThti hi rahti hai nazar apni

shab-e-tarik men aisa to sab hota hi rahta hai

qayamat hoti rahti hai bapa ab shahr men har-su

yahan mahshar bapa ai dost ab hota hi rahta hai

suḳhan pamal hota hai ‘nabil’ is ahd men har pal

yahan pamal har lamha adab hota hi rahta hai
