Safar Se Pahle Sarabon Ka Silsila Rakh Aae

Aslam Mahmood

safar se pahle sarabon ka silsila rakh aa.e

har ek moḌ pe ashob ik naya rakh aa.e

kahan bhaTakti phiregi andheri galiyon men

ham ik charagh sar-e-kucha-e-hava rakh aa.e

tamam umr safar se gharaz rahi ham ko

har iḳhtitam pe ham ek ibtida rakh aa.e

bhaTak na jaa.e musafir koi hamare ba.ad

so rah-e-shauq men ham apne naqsh-e-pa rakh aa.e

ye be-sama.at o be-chehra basarat log

ye pattharon men kahan aap a.ina rakh aa.e
