Aqsa

koii ummiid bar nahiin aatii
koii suurat nazar nahiin aatii   

maut kaa ek din mu’ayyan hai
niind kyon raat bhar nahiin aatii  

aage aatii thii haal-e-dil pe hansii
ab kisii baat par nahiin aatii

hai kuchh aisii hii baat jo chup hun
varna kyaa baat kar nahiin aatii

kyon na chiikhun ki yaad karate hain
merii aavaaz gar nahiin aatii

ham vahaan hain jahaan se ham ko bhii
kuchh hamaarii Khabar nahiin aatii

marate hain aarazuu mein marane kii
maut aatii hai par nahiin aatii
