saahil pe log yunhi khaDe dekhte rahe — Abdullah Javed

tum apne aks mein kyaa dekhte ho
tumhaaraa aks bhi tum saa nahin hai

dekhte ham bhi hain kuchh khvaab magar haae re dil
har nae khvaab ki taabir se Dar jaataa hai

phir nai hijrat koi darpesh hai
khvaab mein ghar dekhnaa achchhaa nahin

aap ke jaate hi ham ko lag gai aavaargi
aap ke jaate hi ham se ghar nahin dekhaa gayaa

karbalaa mein rukh-e-asghar ki taraf
tiir chalte nahin dekhe jaate

ashk Dhalte nahin dekhe jaate
dil pighalte nahin dekhe jaate

us but ke nahaane se huaa saaf ye paani
moti bhi sadaf mein tah-e-dariyaa nazar aayaa

pyaas baDhti jaa rahi hai bahtaa dariyaa dekh kar
bhaagti jaati hain lahrein ye tamaashaa dekh kar

taalaab iraade kaa bhare pal mein labaalab
jab yaar ke dariyaa-e-karam suun lahr aave

'fitrat' dil-e-kaunain ki dhaDkan to zaraa sun
ye hazrat-e-insaan hi ki azmat kaa bayaan hai

'ishq dariyaa mein jab se bahne lagaa
mauj-dar-mauj she'r kahne lagaa

vaa'da amir-e-shahr kaa dariyaa-dili kaa thaa
dekh un kaa faiz shahr ko dariyaa banaa diyaa
