tootata rahata hai mujh mein khud mira apana vajood
mere andar koee mujh se barasar-e-paikaar hai
mere jazbaat aansuon vaale
sher sab hichakiyon se likhata hoon
dikhao soorat-e-taaza bayaan se pahale
kahaanee aur hai kuchh daastaan se pahale
jahaan pahunchane kee khvaahish mein umr beet gaee
vaheen pahunch ke hayaat ik khayaal-e-khaam huee
ghatatee badhatee rahee parachhaeen miree khud mujh se
laakh chaaha ki mire qad ke baraabar utare
bachchon ko ham na ek khilauna bhee de sake
gam aur badh gaya hai jo tyauhaar aae hain
hamen to khvaab ka ik shahar aankhon mein basaana tha
aur is ke bad mar jaane ka sapana dekh lena tha
talaashe ja rahe hain ahad-e-rafta
zameenon kee khudaee ho rahee hai
sher of Obaidur Rahman
