Shair-o-Shairi-- Part 2 - Page 91

Woh ruthtee rahee hum manatee rahe,
Unkii rahoon main palken bichatee rahee,
Unhoonee kabhi palat ke bhi nahi dekha,
Hum ankh jhapaknee see bhi katratee rahee..

Woh inkar karte hain ikraar k liyee,
Nafrat bhi kartee hain to pyaar k liyee,
Ultii chaal chaltee hain yeh ishq walee,
Ankhen band kartee hain didar k liyee..

Aiman ka khauf peene nahii deta,
Ankhoon ki lahoo ko dil rukne nahi deta,
Aik aas hain jo marnee nahi detii,
Aik daard hain jo jeene nahin detaa..

Har taraf khamoshii ka saaya hain,
Jisse dekho woh hi paraya hain,
Gir paree hain hum to muhubbat main thokar khakar,
Aur log kehte hain k pikar aaya hain..

Kaun janee kab maut ka pigam aajayee,
Zindagii ki akhrii sham aajayee,
Hum to dhoondte hain waqt aisa jab,
Hamarii zindagii aap k kaam ajayee..

Buhut dur magar buhut paas rehte hoo,
Ankhon se dur magar dil ke paas rehtee hoo,
Mujhe bas itna batadoo,
kya tum bhi mere bina udaas rehtee hoo..

Honto pe ulfat ka naam hota hain,
Ankhon main chalakta jaam hota hain,
Talwaroon ki zarurat wahan kaisee,
Jahan nazroo se qatl-e-aam hota hain..

Kya ankhen hain,kya zulf hain,
Kya chehra tumne paya hain,
Aisa lagta hain jaise peepal k per see bhoot nikal aaya hain..

Mujh ko naya zamana heerat main dalta hain,
Jiss ka gala dabaoo ankhen nikalta hain..

Taj mahal kya cheez thi,
Isse barii imarat banaaonga,
Mumtaz toh mar ke dafn hui thi,
Tujhe main zinda dafanaunga..
