aakhiri khawaish

ab bina gum ke zindagi ka guzara nahi hota,
ek khushi ke kareeb jaane se dar lagta hai,

aisi aadat huyi hai dil ko ab tannhai ki,
mehfil mein baat sunane se dar lagta hai,

sehmi aankhon mein neend sammet lene do,
inmein sukoon samaane se dar lagta hai,

dhokha khane ka yeh dil hai iss kadar kayal,
ek wada bhi nibhaane se ab dar lagta hai,

mujhe nafrat bhari aandhi ki jarurat doston,
mohabbat ko ab apnane se dar lagta hai.

koi taiyar karo saaz-o-saaman meri  arthi ka,
ab ye jehmat bhi utane se dar lagta hai.

aakhiri khawaish yahi ki dhardkane yeh tham jaye,
ab to saans liye jane se bhi dar lagta hai.
