Dubne ki na tairne ki khabar — Asima Tahir

nahin vo itnaa bhi paagal nahin thaa
jo mar jaataa miri vaabastagi mein

mire vajud ke andar hai ik qadim makaan
jahaan se main ye udaasi udhaar leti huun

khvaab kaa intizaar khatm huaa
aankh ko niind se jagaate hain

ham ne jab haal-e-dil un se apnaa kahaa
vo bhi qissa kisi kaa sunaane lage

shahzaadi ke kaanon mein jo baat kahi thi ik tu ne
baad tire vo baat tire hi afsaanon mein gunjti hai

khushbu jaisi raat ne meraa
apne jaisaa haal kiyaa thaa

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

mukhaalifat se miri shakhsiyat sanvarti hai
main dushmanon kaa baDaa ehtiraam kartaa huun

ye zaafraani pullover usi kaa hissa hai
koi jo dusraa pahne to dusraa hi lage

saudaa-e-ishq aur hai vahshat kuchh aur shai
majnun kaa koi dost fasaana-nigaar thaa

ab aap koi kaam sikhaa dijiye ham ko
maalum huaa ishq ke qaabil to nahin ham
