Waseem Barelvi

Aaj pee lene de jee lene de mujh ko saaqi,
Kal meri raat khuda jane kahan guzre gi..

Aate aate mera naam sa reh geya,
Us ke honton pe kuch kampta reh geya,

Raat mujrim thi daaman bacha le gayi,
Din gawahon ki saff main khaRRa reh geya,

Woh mere samne hi geya aur main,
Raste ki taraf dekhta reh geya,

Jhoot wale kahin se kahin baRRh gaye,
Aur main tha ke sach bolta reh geya,

Andhiyon ke iraade to ache na thay,
Yeh dia kese jalta hua reh geya,

Us ko kandhon pe le ja rahe hain waseem,
Aur woh jeene ka haq mangta reh geya..

Dukh apna agar hum ko batana nahin ata,
Tum ko bhi to andaza lagana nahin ata,

Pohancha hai jo bazurgon ke bayanon se jo hum tak,
Kya baat huyi kyun woh zamana nahin ata,

Main bhi usay khonay ka hunar seekh na paya,
Us ko bhi mujhe choRR ke jana nahin ata,

Is choTtay zamane ke baRre kese bano ge,
Logon ko jab aapas main laRrana nahin ata,

Dhoonde hai to palkon pe chamakne ke bahane,
Aansuu ko meri aankh main aana nahin ata,

Tareekh ki aankhon main dhuaan ho gaye khud hi,
Tum ko to koi ghar bhi jalana nahin ata..
