chhute hi aashaaein bikhrin jaise sapne TuuT gae — Ameeq Hanafi

vo jab mujh ko dekh rahi thi main ne us ko dekh liyaa thaa
bas itni si baat thi lekin baDhte baDhte kitni baDhi hai

ek usi ko dekh na paae varna shahr ki saDkon par
achchhi achchhi poshaakein hain achchhi surat vaale hain

dil mein dukh aankhon mein nami aasmaan par ghaTaaein
andar baahar is or us or har or baadal

phuul khile hain likhaa huaa hai toDo mat
aur machal kar ji kahtaa hai chhoDo mat

donon kaa milnaa mushkil hai donon hain majbur bahut
us ke paanv mein mehndi lagi hai mere paanv mein chhaale hain

cigarette jise sulagtaa huaa koi chhoD de
us kaa dhuaan huun aur pareshaan dhuaan huun main

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

hamaaraa ishq ravaan hai rukaavaTon mein 'zafar'
ye khvaab hai kisi divaar se nahin ruktaa

ye san kar meri nindein uD gai hain
koi meraa bhi sapnaa dekhtaa hai

andheri shab kaa ye khvaab-manzar mujhe ujaalon se bhar rahaa hai
to raat itni tavil kar de ki taa-qayaamat sahar na aae

ik yaqin-parvar gumaan aur ik hayaat-aamez khvaab
jaise koi aaegaa aur uljhanein le jaaegaa

khvaab Thahre the to aankhein bhigne se bach gaiin
varna chehre par to gham ki baarishon kaa aks hai
