ai asir-e-gham saahil idhar aa — Abdul Mannan Tarzi

dard kaa silsila hai jahaan tak
dil ki jaagir hogi vahaan tak

teri yaadon ke lamhe bhi bedard the
tujh ko mujh se churaate rahe raat-bhar

is kashmakash mein teri gali se pare rahe
aae kahaan pe harf kahaan par na aae harf

naam-levaa tumhaaraa hai 'tarzi'
aadmi ki tarah milo pyaare

ik qayaamat hai aap kaa vaada
chaliye ye bhi azaab ho jaae

himmat-e-tark-e-vafaa Duub gai
kis ne aankhon mein utaaraa dariyaa

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

koi bhi hal nahin udaasi kaa
mujh se kamre ne baarhaa puchhaa

tiri yaadon ke sahraa mein sanam kyaa kyaa nahin hotaa
jahaan ho tishnagi kaa gham vahaan dariyaa nahin hotaa
