Justaju Khoye Huon Ki Umar Bhar Karte Rahe

"Justaju Khoye Huon Ki Umar Bhar Karte Rahe"

By Parveen Shakir

Justaju khoye huon ki umr bhar karte rahe
chand k hamrah ham har shab safar karte rahe

raston ka ilm tha ham ko na simton ki khabar
shahar-e-namalum ki chahat magar karte rahe

ham ne khud se bhi chupaya aur sare shahar se
tere jane ki khabar dar-o-diwar karte rahe

wo na ayega hamain malum tha us sham bhi
intazar us ka magar kuch soch kar karte rahe

aj aya hai hamain bhi un uranon ka khayal
jin ko tere zaum main be-bal-o-par karte rahe
