Poet Name: Etibar Sajid

mujh se mukhlis tha na vaqif mire jazbat se tha us ka rishta to faqat apne mafadat se tha ab

phuul the rang the lamhon ki sabahat ham the aise zinda the ki jiine ki alamat ham the sab khirad-mand

shahr-e-hava men jalte rahna andeshon ki chaukhat par raat gae tak uljhe rahna be-mafhum khayalon men qasr-e-umr gavahi dega kaise

tark-e-taalluq kar to chuke hain ik imkan abhi baaqi hai ek mahaz se laut aae hain ik maidan abhi baaqi

kisi ko ham se hain chand shikve kisi ko behad shikayaten hain hamare hisse men sirf apni safaiyan hain vazahaten

kaise kahin ki jaan se pyara nahin raha ye aur baat ab vo hamara nahin raha aansu tire bhi khushk

kisi ne dil ke taaq par jala ke rakh diya hamen magar hava-e-hijr ne bujha ke rakh diya hamen hazar

main takiye par sitare bo raha huun janam-din hai akela ro raha huun kisi ne jhank kar dekha na dil

mira hai kaun dushman meri chahat kaun rakhta hai isi par sochte rahne ki fursat kaun rakhta hai makinon ke

muhtaj ham-safar ki masafat na thi miri sab saath the kisi se rifaqat na thi miri haq kis se mangta
