آج اُن کے دامن پر ۔ سعید شہیدی
آج اُن کے دامن پر اشک میرے ڈھلتے ہیں
غم کے تیز رو دھارے راستے بدلتے ہیں
آپ کے سہارے کی فکر ہوگی اوروں کو
ہم تو ٹھوکریں کھا کر خود بہ خود سنبھلتے ہیں
وقت بھی ہے میں بھی ہوں فیصلہ یہ کر لیجے
کِس کے ساتھ چلنا تھا، کِس کے ساتھ چلتے ہیں
ایسی بے رُخی بھی کیا، اتنی بھی ہے کیا جلدی
ٹھہرو قافلے والو، ہم بھی ساتھ چلتے ہیں
تیری مُسکُراہٹ کے ساتھ ہیں میری آنکھیں
صبح کے اُجالے میں دو چراغ جلتے ہیں
دیکھنے کے قابل ہیں لغزشیں بہانے کی
ہاتھ تھام کر میرا، وہ جہاں سنبھلتے ہیں
یہ غریب دِل اُن کو کیسے اجنبی جانے
دور دور رہ کر جو، ساتھ ساتھ چلتے ہیں
میکشی سعید اپنی ہے کچھ ایسی میعاری
ہم بدل نہیں سکتے، میکدے بدلتے ہیں
आज उन के दामन पर – सईद शहीदी
आज उन के दामन पर अश्क मेरे ढलते हैं
ग़म के तेज़ रौ धारे रास्ते बदलते हैं
आप के सहारे की फ़िक्र होगी औरौं को
हम तो ठोकरें खा कर ख़ुद ब ख़ुद संभलते हैं
वक़्त भी है हम भी हैं, फ़ैसला ये कर लीजे
किस के साथ चलना था, किस के साथ चलते हैं
ऐसी बे-रुख़ी भी क्या, इतनी भी है क्या जल्दी
ठहरो क़ाफ़ेले वालो हम भी साथ चलते हैं
तेरी मुस्कुराहट के साथ हैं मेरी आंखें
सुबह के उजाले में दो चिराग़ जलते हैं
देखने के क़ाबिल हैं, लग़्ज़िशें बहाने की
हाथ थाम कर मेरा, वो जहां सँभालते हैं
ये ग़रीब दिल उन को कैसे अजनबी जाने
दूर दूर रह कर जो, साथ साथ चलते हैं
मैकशी सईद अपनी है कुछ ऐसी मेआरी
हम बदल नहीं सकते, मैकदे बदलते हैं
