yaad bhi teri miT gai dil se — Abrar Ahmad

tu kahin baiTh aur hukm chalaa
ham jo hain teraa bojh Dhone ko

kahin koi charaagh jaltaa hai
kuchh na kuchh raushni rahegi abhi

bhar laae hain ham aankh mein rakhne ko muqaabil
ik khvaab-e-tamannaa tiri ghaflat ke baraabar

qisse se tire meri kahaani se ziyaada
paani mein hai kyaa aur bhi paani se ziyaada

jis kaam mein ham ne haath Daalaa
vo kaam muhaal ho gayaa hai

har rukh hai kahin apne khad-o-khaal se baahar
har lafz hai kuchh apne maaani se ziyaada

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

sab ko ham bhuul gae josh-e-junun mein lekin
ik tiri yaad thi aisi jo bhulaai na gai

jaate hue kamre ki kisi chiiz ko chhu de
main yaad karungaa ki tire haath lage the

lamhaat-e-vasl yaad jo aae shab-e-firaaq
yak-lakht surkh ho gae aariz be-ikhtiyaar

main jab bhuke parinde dekhtaa huun apne aangan mein
mujhe apne vatan ke nange bachche yaad aate hain

shab kitni bojhal bojhal hai ham tanhaa tanhaa baiThe hain
aise mein tumhaari yaad aai jis tarah koi ilhaam aae
