नया इक तराना

ये किसने कुशादा फजाओं के सपने
हमारी ज़मीं के अंधेरों में देखे
खुले फिर तसव्वुर के सारे दरीचे

नयी मंजिलों की तरफ़ जा रहे हैं
महब्बत के नाज़ुक पयाम आ रहे हैं!!

तकल्लुफ की पाबंदियां तोड़ दें हम
हमें जो लड़ाए उसे छोड़ दें हम
मज़ाक-ऐ-सफर को नया मोड़ दें हम

नयी मंजिलों की तरफ़ जा रहे हैं
महब्बत के नाज़ुक पयाम आ रहे हैं!!

त'आसुब से हर गाम लड़ते रहेंगे
नया रंग फ़िक्र-ओ-अमल में भरेंगे
जवानों का स्पेस, ओपिन करेंगे

नयी मंजिलों की तरफ़ जा रहे हैं
महब्बत के नाज़ुक पयाम आ रहे हैं!!

- अनवर नदीम
