Issi soch ki haamil “Nasir Kazmi” ki yeh ghazal zehan per udaasi aur umeed ka ek ajeeb sa ehsaas paida karti hai, un ki is ghazal mein zindagi se mayoosi bhi hai aur zindagi ki hasrat aur tamanna bhi, raat ki tareeki ka ehsaas bhi hai aur us subha ka intezaar bhi jo apne sath nae qaafillay lane wali thee aur jo aa hi nahee chukti. Is ghazal mein Nasir Kazmi ko saahiloo per gane waloo, dosti nibhane waloo, nae imaratain banane waloo aur akele udaas gharoo mein diya jalane waloo ki yaad ati hai, un logoo ki yaad ati hai jo zameen ka bojh uthane ka azam’o’himmat rakhte hain, aap sab ki nazar hai..
Wo sahiloo pe gaane wale kya huwe
Wo kashteyyaa chalaane wale kya huwe
Wo subah aate aate reh gae kahaan
Jo qaafilay thay ane wale kya huwe
Mein un ki raah dekhta hon raat bhar
Wo roshni dikhaane wale kya huwe
Ye kaun loug hain mere idhar udhar
Wo dosti nibhaane wale kya huwe
Wo dil mein khubne wali aankhain kya huween
Wo hont muskuraane wale kya huwe
Emaarattain tu jal ke raakh ho gaeen
Emarattain banaane wale kya huwe
Akele ghar se poochti hai be-kasi
Tera diya jalaane wale kya huwe
Ye aap hum tu bojh hain zameen ka
Zameen ka bojh uthaane wale kya huwe …
