main inhimaak mein ye kis maqaam tak pahunchaa — Asim Wasti

sikhaa na duaaon mein qanaaat kaa saliqa
vo maang rahaa huun jo muqaddar mein nahin hai

log kahte hain ki vo shakhs hai khushbu jaisaa
saath shaayad use le aae havaa dekhte hain

nahin vo sham-e-mohabbat rahi to phir 'aasim'
ye kis duaa se mire ghar mein raushni si hai

tu mire paas jab nahin hotaa
tujh se kartaa huun kis qadar baatein

miri zabaan ke mausam badalte rahte hain
main aadmi huun miraa e'tibaar mat karnaa

kahin kahin to zamin aasmaan se unchi hai
ye raaz mujh pe khulaa siDhiyaan utarte hue

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

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

sab ko ham bhuul gae josh-e-junun mein lekin
ik tiri yaad thi aisi jo bhulaai na gai

jiinaa taDap taDap kar marnaa sisak sisak kar
fariyaad ek ji hai kyaa kyaa kharaabiyon mein

tum apne Thor-Thikaanon ko yaad rakkho 'saaz'
hamaaraa kyaa hai ki ham to kahin bhi rahte hain
