un kaa aanaa hashr se kuchh kam na thaa — Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi

aaghosh mein mahkoge dikhaai nahin doge
tum nikhat-e-gulzaar ho ham parda-e-shab hain

gham-e-jaanaan gham-e-dauraan ki taraf yuun aayaa
jaanib shahar chale dukhtar-e-dahqaan jaise

zindagi shama ki maanind jalaataa huun 'nadim'
bujh to jaaungaa magar subah to kar jaaungaa

kis tavaqqoa pe kisi ko dekhein
koi tum se bhi hasin kyaa hogaa

ik safina hai tiri yaad agar
ik samundar hai miri tanhaai

aakhir duaa karein bhi to kis muddaaa ke saath
kaise zamin ki baat kahein aasmaan se ham
