Teri Talash Teri Tamanna to Main Bhi Hun

Nabeel Ahmad Nabeel

teri talash teri tamanna to main bhi huun

jaisa tira ḳhayal hai vaisa to main bhi huun

ta.amir jaisi chahiye vaisi na ho saki

buniyad apni roz uThata to main bhi huun

bosida chhal peḌ se lipTi hai gar to kya

achchhe dinon ki aas pe zinda to main bhi huun

ai zindagi mujhe to ḳhabar tak na ho saki

har-chand apne gham ka mudava to main bhi huun

mahrumi-e-hayat ka mujh ko bhi gham to hai

mahrumi-e-hayat pe rota to main bhi huun

shayad nikal hi aa.e yahan koi rasta

is shahr-e-be-lihaz men Thahra to main bhi huun

ai zindagi to kis liye mayus mujh se hai

teri tavaqquat pe puura to main bhi huun

nok-e-qalam pe surat-e-iz.har ye bhi hai

tujh ko ghazal ke ruup men likhta to main bhi huun

ai zindagi tu thamti mere vajud ko

tere liye jahan men bhaTka to main bhi huun

ai kaash jaan le tu mire dil ki dastan

tum ho to zindagi ka taqaza to main bhi huun

mujh men jo iztirab hai mere sabab se hai

mujh se na kuchh kaho ki samajhta to main bhi huun

ye kya ki ḳhvahishon ka safar ḳhatm hi na ho

ye kya ki ek moḌ pe Thahra to main bhi huun

ye kya ki ek taur se guzregi zindagi

ye kya ki ek raah pe chalta to main bhi huun

rakhta nahin huun dil men havaon ka kuchh bhi ḳhauf

rahon men teri diip jalata to main bhi huun

tum aa.e aur sameT ke duniya nikal ga.e

is umr ke sarab men bhaTka to main bhi huun

main bhi dukhon se mavara kab huun jahan men

bar-e-gham-e-hayat uThata to main bhi huun

main bhi bhaTak raha huun zamane ke saath saath

andha agar jahan hai andha to main bhi huun

tere bayan men hai na mere bayan men

is zindagi ko dekh dikhata to main bhi huun

kuchh raushni ki aas hai mujh ko bhi ai ‘nabil’

ankhon ke diip roz jalata to main bhi huun

hansti hai mujh pe duniya to hansti rahe ‘nabil’

is ke muamlat pe hansta to main bhi huun

ruk se ga.e ‘nabil’ ye kis ke ḳhayal men

tu dekh ghaur se mujhe rukta to main bhi huun
