aa gaya kaun ye aaj us ke muqabil 'aslam'
aaina TuT gaya aks ki tabani se

Aslam Mahmood

ab ye samjhe ki andhera bhi zaruri shai hai
bujh gain aankhen ujalon ki farawani se

Aslam Mahmood

e-rang na wapas kar ek sang hi de sar ko
kab se tera talib hun kab se tere dar par hun

Aslam Mahmood

---

---

dekh aa kar ki tere hijr mein bhi zinda hain
tujh se bichhDe the to lagta tha ki mar jaenge

Aslam Mahmood

---

---

guzarte ja rahe hain qafile tu hi zara ruk ja
ghubar-e-rah tere sath chalna chahta hun main

Aslam Mahmood

---

---

hum dil se rahe tez hawaon ke muKHalif
jab tham gaya tufan to qadam ghar se nikala

Aslam Mahmood

---

---

kahan bhaTakti phiregi andheri galiyon mein
hum ek charagh sar-e-kucha-e-hawa rakh aae

Aslam Mahmood

---

---

KHata ye thi ki main aasaniyon ka talib tha
saza ye hai ki mera tisha-e-hunar bhi gaya

Aslam Mahmood

---

---

main ek ret ka paikar tha aur bikhar bhi gaya
ajab tha KHwab ki main KHwab hi mein Dar bhi gaya
