Lakiren

Adil Hayat

hatheli ki lakiron men

muqaddar qaid hai

umr-e-ravan ke beshtar lamhe

na jaane kaun si asudgi ki justuju men

kitne hi dariyaon ko ik rau men pichhe chhod aae hain

magar sahil pe aa kar

mere pyase hont ab tak phad.phadate hain

miri ankhon men bhi nakamiyan hi raqs karti hain

magar

ehsas ke tarik angan men

umidon ki kiran sargoshiyan karti

sunai jab bhi deti hain

to phir se taza-dam ho kar

muqaddar se

rihai ki

jasarat karne lagta huun
