dard ne li angDaai aisi — Ameer Nehtauri

vaqaar-e-shauq se gir kar bhi vaar mat karnaa
mile jo zakhmi parinda shikaar mat karnaa

dil ke zakhmon ko sajaane kaa hunar rakhtaa huun
mustaqil main tiri yaadon kaa safar rakhtaa huun

ham apne zakhmon pe rakh lein namak zaruri hai
dayaar-e-ishq mein un ki mahak zaruri hai

hogi na chaaraagar tiri tadbir kaargar
ham ko khud apne zakhmon ki chaahat hai aaj-kal

furqat ki shab khaamoshiyaan zakhmon ki phir angDaaiyaan
aankhein jab apni nam huiin bechaargi achchhi lagi

ruuh se lipTe dard ke manzar
TuuT rahe hain zakhm ke paikar

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

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

sher mein saath ravaani ke maaani bhi to bhar
ai 'sadaa' qaid tu kuuze mein samundar kar de

sukhan raaz-e-nashaat-o-gham kaa parda ho hi jaataa hai
ghazal kah lein to ji kaa bojh halkaa ho hi jaataa hai

jal thal kaa khvaab thaa ki kinaare Dubo gayaa
tanhaa kanval bhi jhiil se baahar nikal paDaa
