Apne mazi ki tasavvur se hirasa hun main

apne mazi ki tasavvur se hirasa hun main
apne guzri hue ayyam se nafarat hai mujhe
apni bekar tamannaon pe sharminda hun main
apni besud ummidon pe nidamat hai mujhe
mere mazi ko andhere mein daba rahane do
mera mazi meri zillat ki siva kuch bhi nahi
meri ummidon ka hasil meri kavish ka sila
ek benam aziyat ki siva kuch bhi nahi
kitni bekar ummidon ka sahara lekar
main ne aiwan sajaye they kisi ki khatir
kitni berabt tamannazon ki mabham khake
apne khwabon mem basaye the kisi ki khatir
mujhase ab meri mohabbat ki fasane na pucho
mujhko kahane do ki main ne unhen chaha hi nahi
aur wo mast nigahen jo mujhe bhool gain
main ne un mast nigahon ko saraha hi nahi
mujhko kahane do ki main aj bhi jee sakata hun
ishq nakam sahi zindagi nakam nahi
unko apanane ki khvahish unhen pane ki talab
shauq bekar sahi sai-gam anjam nahi
wohi gesu wohi nazar wohi aarid wohi jism
main jo chahun ki mujhe aur bhi mil sakate hain
wo kanval jinako kabhi munake liye khilana tha
unaki nazaron se bahut dur bhi khil sakate hain
