kise khabar thi khizaan qatl-e-aam kar degi — Ahmad Muneeb

udaasi muskuraati hai miyaan tab sher hote hain
nami aankhon mein aati hai miyaan tab sher hote hain

kisi gaanv mein kachche ghar ki chhaanv mein koi Tahni
khushi se lahlahaati hai miyaan tab sher hote hain

baat kuchh yuun hai ki kal raat bhari mahfil mein
us kaa jab zikr huaa baat badal di main ne

suraj sitaare chaand falak kahkashaan zamin
bas ik nazar mein dekh liye aasmaan zamin

ashk bahne lag gae manzar nikharne lag gayaa
main tamaashaa ban gayaa aur ek khiDki khul gai

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

gulaabon ke honTon pe lab rakh rahaa huun
use der tak sochnaa chaahtaa huun

gul kiyaa jis ne vo thaa aur magar
shama ne shikva havaaon se kiyaa

ai sanam tu vo kanhayyaa hai balaaein luun agar
baansuli ki tarah naalaan hon saraapaa ungliyaan
