Altaf Zia

kafas mein hoon mujhe azaadiyaan awaaz deti hain,
mere par khol do purvaaiyaan awaaz deti hain...

tumhari yaad se kab tak main apne dil ko behlaoon
chale aao meri tanhaaiyaan awaaz deti hain...

hawaa khushboo se khaali hai fazaa mein ek ghutan si hai
kahaan hain phool waale titliyaan awaaz deti hain...

na jaane kis ghadi kaisi khataayein ho gayi aakhir
humein har mod par rusvaaiyaan awaaz deti hain...

zyaada der main pardes mein ab ruk nahi sakta
mere bachhon ki zimmedaariyaan awaaz deti hain...

bohat oonchi imaarat se utar aao 'zia' saahab
tumhe ab qabr ki gehraaiyaan awaaz deti hain...
