chakh raha tha main ek badan ka namak
sare bartan khule paDe hue the

har taraf tu nazar aata hai jidhar jata hun
tere imkan se hijrat nahin kar sakta main

Anjum Saleemi

---

han zamane ki nahin apni to sun sakta tha
kash KHud ko hi kabhi baiTh ke samjhata main

Anjum Saleemi

---

ek tabir ki surat nazar aai hai idhar
so uTha laya hun sab KHwab purane wale

Anjum Saleemi

ek din meri KHamushi ne mujhe
lafz ki oT se ishaara kiya

Anjum Saleemi

---

---

ek be-nam udasi se bhara baiTha hun
aaj dil khol ke rone ki zarurat hai mujhe

Anjum Saleemi

---

---

dosto mere liye koi bhi afsurda na ho
KHush-dili se dam-e-ruKHsat mujhe ruKHsat kiya jae

Anjum Saleemi

---

---

dard se bharta raha zat ke KHali-pan ko
thoDa thoDa yunhi bharpur kiya main ne mujhe

Anjum Saleemi

---

---

chal to sakta tha main bhi pani par
main ne dariya ka ehtiram kiya

Anjum Saleemi
