vo kahte hain kuchh der hai faisle mein — A. D. Azhar

tujh se judaa hue to tiri yaad baDh gai
aazaad ho ke qaid ki mi'aad baDh gai

tu khvaab hi mein sahi aa ke khud javaab to de
bujhi bujhi si miri aarzu ko aab to de

na chheD ai shaikh ham yunhi bhale chal raah lag apni
tujhe to biviyaan sujhi hain ham bezaar baiThe hain

vo bulaate to hain mujh ko magar ai jazba-e-dil
shauq itnaa bhi na baDh jaae ki jaae na bane

thaa jis pe naaz kabhi ab vo aarzu na rahi
niyaaz-e-'ishq ki pahli si aabru na rahi

miri 'aashiqi sahi be-asar tiri dilbari ne bhi kyaa kiyaa
vahi main rahaa vahi be-dili vahi rang-e-lail-o-nahaar hai
