Shair-o-Shairi-- Part 2 - Page 93

Jab ankhon ne kiya woh deddar tera,
palkon main chupa liya khwab tera,
Katti hain ab shamien bas yunhii,
Inn nigahoon ko bas aab intezar tera..

Jab se hua hain khwab ki tarah,
Zindagii guzr rahii hain azab ki tarah,
khushboo ke kalam see shayad likha tha uss ne khat,
Har lafz mehak raha hain gullab ki taraah..

Dostii ki tarap ko dikhaya nahin jaata,
Dil main laagii aag ko bhujaya nahin jaata,
Kitnii bhi doori hui dostii main,
Aap jaisee dost ko bhulaya nahin jata..

Ankoon main ansuu ajatee hain,
Phir bhi laboon pe hasii rakhnii partii hain,
Yeh muhhabat bhi kya cheez hain yaaroon,
Jis se kartee hain usiisee chupanii partii hain..

Hum kabhi aap se khafa hooo nahi saktee,
Yeh dil ke rishtee bewafa ho nahi saktee,
Aap bhulale hamien bhula k soojaee,
Hum aap ko yaad kiye bina soo nahi sakte..

Rooz khwab main nazar aatey hoo tum,
Kyun mujhe neend mian bhi daratee ho tum..

Ab tu tere bin jeena hoo gaya hain mushkil,
Haa ghar kee liye chaiyee nukaranii mustakil..

Iss dunya main tum hi sab see haseen hoo,
Main aur kitna jhoot bolo k tum ko yakeen hoo..

Bas tere hii sang jo meri zindagii,
Aacha nahi k main karloo khudkushii..

Itne dinoo se jalanee nahin aaya,
Jaltii hui aag ko bhujanee nahin aya,
Kehta tha saath jaayee gee saath maregee,
Aab roth gayii hoo to,
Ullu ka phata maneene bhi nahi aya..
