My Poetry - Tanha

sochta hoon koi mairi be to kahani likhay
mairi unkahi ko wo apni he zubani likhay

haraf aye na kissi ki shaan aur naam par
iss qiaas say wo mujhay gumnaam likhay

faseel tha jo shehar-e-panah ki her simat
na hua naseeb usay sya-e-devaar, likhay

her rah-e-khaarzaar main jo tha rahnuma
wo khud raha aabla pa sadda ko, likhay

wo jo rehta tha ban kay jaan her mehfal ki
raha khud wo bara tanha andar say, likhay

pilata tha jam sab ko sharab-e-tahoor kay
khud sadda he raha wo tashna lab, likhay

bin mangay jo daita raha khushian sab ko
wo hua kion aisey barbaad, ye be to likhay

ye be likhay keh mar gia wo chupkay say
kaha faqat, naam koi kutbay pay na likhay
