Hamd

Main shajar hoon shehr-e-malaal ka, meri tehniyon ko nihaal ker
Kabhi bhej apni navazishain kisi jaam-e-abr mein daal ker

Mujhay khaar khaar musaafaton ki sitamgiri ne thaka diya
Mujhay manzilon ka suraagh de meray hauslon ko bahaal ker

Meray be-javaaz vajood per teri rehmaton ka javaaz hain
Vo nidamatain jinhain aankh mein kabhi rakh liya sambhaal ker

Haray mausamon ke nuqoosh to meri lauh-e-zehen se mit chalay
Yeh jo zard rut ke hain silsilay, ab inhain bhi khaab-o-khayaal ker

Nice ...

BTW I remember in school ... like in the 2nd or 3rd grade ... they taught us HAMD is poem in which poet praises ALLAH SUBAHANA WALTAALA ....

Can't help but wonder is this poem a hamd ... /?? :S

Yeah you're right, as far as my knowledge goes, which isn't extensive by any means.

I like to maintain the sanctity of written word. This poem was sent to a digest by Seema Siraj (a well-respected name in Urdu poetry and such, though not so famous), and she titled this piece as 'hamd'. So I just continued with that.
