mire habib miri muskuraahaTon pe na jaa — Ahmad Rahi

dil se dil nazron se nazron ke ulajhne kaa samaan
jaise sahraaon mein niind aai ho divaanon ko

ab na kaaba ki tamannaa na kisi but ki havas
ab to zinda huun kisi markaz-e-insaan ke liye

dil ke sunsaan jaziron ki khabar laaegaa
dard pahlu se judaa ho ke kahaan jaaegaa

zindagi ke vo kisi moD pe gaahe gaahe
mil to jaate hain mulaaqaat kahaan hoti hai

har ek baat ke yuun to diye javaab us ne
jo khaas baat thi har baar hans ke Taal gayaa

kahin ye apni mohabbat ki intihaa to nahin
bahut dinon se tiri yaad bhi nahin aai

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

bataa khud ko bhalaa kaise sanvaarun
mujhe gham aainon mein dikh rahaa hai

us pe qurbaan ki jis ne tiri aavaaz suni
sadqe us aankh ke jis ne tiraa jalva dekhaa
