iraade garche lahron ke baDe sadmaat vaale hain — Ashfaq Shaheen

itni zamin hi chaahiye bas mujh ko gaanv mein
jaa kar paDaa rahun main jahaan maan ke paanv mein

ham tire hijr mein yuun zard hue jaate hain
log takte hain to hamdard hue jaate hain

aati kab hai roz bulaanaa paDti hai
niind ki khaatir goli khaanaa paDti hai

akelaa aa rahaa hai yaa unhein bhi saath laataa hai
zaraa puchho khabar to lo december kyaa bataataa hai

subh-e-nau ke vaaste bekaar huun
main guzishta roz kaa akhbaar huun

main adh-maraa gulaab sar-e-shaakh-e-nim-jaan
haathon se tu ne mujh ko sanvaaraa to main gayaa

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

tujhe bhi dekh liyaa ham ne o khudaa-e-ajal
ki teraa zor chalaa bhi to ahl-e-gham pe chalaa

tum jo chaaho to mire dard kaa darmaan ho jaae
varna mushkil hai ki mushkil miri aasaan ho jaae

ik sadma-e-mohabbat ik sadma-e-judaai
ginti ke do hain lekin laakhon ki jaan par hain
