nasir kazmi ki shayyiri

kuch toh ehasas-e-ziyaan tha pehale
dil ka ye haal kahan tha pehle
ab toh manzil bhi hai Khud garm-e-safar
har qadam sang-e-nishan tha pehle
safar-e-shauq ke far_sang na puuch
waqt beqaid-e-makan tha pehle
ye alag baat ki gham raas hai ab
iss mein andeshaa-e-jaan tha pehle
yun na ghabaraaye huye phirate thay
dil ajab kunj-e-amaan tha pehle
ab bhi tu paas nahin hai lekin
iss qadar duur kahan tha pehle
dere daale hain bagolon ne jahan
us taraf chashm-e-ravaan tha pehle
ab vo dariya na bastii na vo log
kya Khabar kaun kahan tha pehle
har Kharaaba ye sada deta hai
main bhi aabad makaan tha pehle
kya se kya ho gayi duniya pyaare
tu vahin par hai jahaan tha pehle
ham ne aabad kiya mulk-e-sukhan
kaisa sunsaan samaan tha pehle
ham ne baKhshi hai Khamoshii ko zuban
dard majabuur-e-fugan tha pehle
hamne roshan kiya maamuur-e-gham
varna har simt dhuaan tha pehle
gham ne phir dil ko jagaya 'nasir'
khana_barbaad kahan tha pehle
