sab ko kaanTon pe shak huaa thaa magar — Aslam Rashid

kuchh sazaa aur baDh gai is par
zakhm khaae to muskuraae kyon

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

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

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

gul kiyaa jis ne vo thaa aur magar
shama ne shikva havaaon se kiyaa

chaar din ki bahaar hai saari
ye takabbur hai yaar-e-jaani hech

chashm-e-nargis ko havas hai ki chaman mein dekhe
aatish-e-gul ke bhaDakne kaa samaan kyaa hogaa
