bimaar hain to abb

bimaar hain to abb damm-e-Eesa kahan se aaye
us dil main dard-e-shauq-o-tamanna kahan se aye

bekaar shara-e-lafz-o-mani se faayeda
jab tu nahin to shehar main tujh sa kahan se aye

har chashm sang-e-khizb-o-adawat se surkh hai
ab admi ko zindagi karna kahaan se aaye

wehshat hawas ki chaat gai khak-e-jism ko
be-dar gharon main shaql ka saya kahan se aye

jar* se ukhar gaye to badalati rutton se kya
be-aab ainon main saraapa kahaan se aaye

saayon pe aitamaad se ukta gayaa hai ji
tufan main zindagi ka bharosa kahan se aye

gam k thapede le gaye nagin se lambe baal
raaton main jangalon ka wo saya kahan se aye

Naheed faishanon ne chupaye hain aib bhi
chashmain na hoon to ankh ka parda kahan se aye
