Nizam-E-Shamsi

Shahnaz Nabi

us ne apne safed papote jhapkae

matyali ankhon se puure asman ko taaka

aur suraj ko god men bhar kar bola

badi aag hai tujh men

chal tujhe qutub-shumali men dafn karte hain

chhote chhote sayyaron ki bhi apni zindagi hoti hai

unhen apne apne kurre par ghumne de

kis men paani hai

kis men hava

ye dekhna tera kaam nahin

apne sayyare pe zindagi ki alamaten dhundhna

talash ka pahla nukta hai

teri duuri farhat-bakhsh hai

qurbat andoh-gin

tujhe god men le kar meri aghosh men chhale pad gae

takhliq ke pahle marhale men

nizam-e-shamsi tartib dete hue

tujhe markaz men rahne dena meri bhuul to nahin
