Musaafir

voh musafir zindagi talashta raha
manzil manzil dar badar bhatakta raha

hua ahsaas jaise koi zinada hai
us sukoot-e-shab main koi parinda hai

jo khatm karde zindagi kisi ke liye
duniyan main voh kyon sharminda hai

aisa kyon lagta hai koi paas hai
murda hai jab jag to kyon pyaas hai

waqt aur lamha ruka sa raha
phir main aj kyon sonchta raha

sukoot-e-shab: peace of night
