nadida manzilon ke payambar bahut mile

nadida manzilon ke payambar bahut mile
hum ko hamari rah ke patthar bahut mile
dard-ashna khulus ke paikar bahut mile
zakhmon ko dhundte hue nashtar bahut mile


sine se hum lagae hue the mata’-e-dard
hum se mile bhi log to bach kar bahut mile
kis kis ko apne dil mein hum aakhir utarte
jo hum pe mehrban the wo khanjar bahut mile


yaadon ke zakhm dil ka lahu dard-e-be-kasi
kuche mein zindagi ke sitamgar bahut mile
dekha jidhar lagi thi shikasta dilon ki bhid
aabaadiyon mein ujde hue ghar bahut mile


palkon pe apni khub ugi aansuon ki fasl
in khushk daliyon pe gul-e-tar bahut mile
bheje hain us ne kitne mohabbat-bhare khutut
hum ko hamare qatl ke mahzar bahut mile


ai 'badr' dil ke dagh the raaton ko zau-fishan
tira-shabi mein chand se paikar bahut mile
