Poet Name: Afzal Minhas

chup rahe to shahr ki hangama arai mili ab agar khole to ham ko qaid-e-tanhai mili zindagi ki zulmaten apne

karb ke shahr se nikle to ye manzar dekha ham ko logon ne bulaya hamen chhu kar dekha vo jo

gir pada tu akhiri ziine ko chhu kar kis liye aa gaya phir asmanon se zamin par kis liye aina-khanon

main apne dil men nai khvahishen sajae hue khada hua huun hava men qadam jamae hue nae jahan ki tamanna

kanch ki zanjir tuuti to sada bhi aaegi aur bhare bazar men tujh ko haya bhi aaegi itr men kapde

apne mahaul se kuchh yuun bhi to ghabrae na the sang lipte hue phulon men nazar aae na the dard

sau haath uthe karb ki khushbu ko churane kya zakhm lagae hain mire tan pe hava ne raste men koi

us ped ko chhua to samar-dar ho gaya phir jaane kya hua vo sharar-bar ho gaya mausam ki bhuul thi

mitte hue nuqush-e-vafa ko ubhariye chehron pe jo saja hai mulammaa utariye milna agar nahin hai to zakhmon se faeda

log hansne ke liye rote hain akasr dahr men talkhiyan khud hi mila lete hain mithe zahr men pyaar ke
