Siyah Safha-E-Hasti Pe Main Ubhar Na Saka

Shahid Kaleem

siyah safha-e-hasti pe main ubhar na saka

miri shabih men koi bhi rang bhar na saka

har ek raah thi masdud kohsaron men

bulandiyon se kisi tarah main utar na saka

bure dinon ka main ik ḳhaufnak manzar huun

mujhe kabhi bhi koi shaḳhs yaad kar na saka

nukile ḳhaar the shishe the sang-reze the

rah-e-hayat se be-dagh main guzar na saka

pukarta raha mujh ko koi magar ‘shahid’

main mauj-e-bahr tha pal bhar kahin Thahar na saka
