kuchh sazaa aur baDh gai is par — Aslam Rashid

mujh se baahar nikal rahe the sab
main bhi hairaan saa nikal aayaa

din din bhar aaina dekhaa jaataa hai
tab jaa kar do chaar ishaare bante hain

aap kaa to shauq hai jalte gharon ko dekhnaa
aap aankhein nam kareinge aap rahne dijiye

qabr par phuul rakhne aayaa thaa
phir yahin ghar banaa liyaa main ne

sab ko kaanTon pe shak huaa thaa magar
zakhm ke aas-paas phuul mile

hansi un ke labon tak aa gai hai
mukammal ho gayaa ronaa hamaaraa

na tum hosh mein ho na ham hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein vahin baat hogi

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

ye vaqt kaifiyaat se bhartaa nahin kabhi
ye jaam ikhtiyaar nahin kar rahaa huun main

koi puraanaa khat kuchh bhuli-bisri yaad
zakhmon par vo lamhe marham hote hain

saaqi mujhe sharaab ki tohmat nahin pasand
mujh ko tiri nigaah kaa ilzaam chaahiye

khuli fazaa mein agar laDkhaDaa ke chal na sakein
to zahr piinaa hai behtar sharaab piine se
