ham ko pahchaan ki ai bazm-e-chaman-zaar-e-vajud — Aslam Ansari

jaane vaale ko kahaan rok sakaa hai koi
tum chale ho to koi rokne vaalaa bhi nahin

divaar-e-khastagi huun mujhe haath mat lagaa
main gir paDungaa dekh mujhe aasraa na de

kise kahein ki rifaaqat kaa daagh hai dil par
bichhaDne vaalaa to khul kar kabhi milaa hi na thaa

khafaa na ho ki tiraa husn hi kuchh aisaa thaa
main tujh se pyaar na kartaa to aur kyaa kartaa

jise darpesh judaai ho use kyaa maalum
kaun si baat ko kis tarah bayaan honaa hai

hamaare haath faqat ret ke sadaf aae
ki saahilon pe sitaara koi rahaa hi na thaa

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

zabaan-bandi ke mausam mein gali-kuchon ki mat puchho
parindon ke chahakne se shajar aabaad hote hain

kyaa mastiyaan chaman mein hain josh-e-bahaar se
har shaakh-e-gul hai haath mein saaghar liye hue

sahraa jangal saagar parbat
in se hi rasta miltaa hai
