kyuun javaani ki mujhe yaad aai — Asrarul Haq Majaz

tum ne to hukm-e-tark-e-tamannaa sunaa diyaa
kis dil se aah tark-e-tamannaa kare koi

taskin-e-dil-e-mahzun na hui vo sai-e-karam farmaa bhi gae
is sai-e-karam ko kyaa kahiye bahlaa bhi gae taDpaa bhi gae

Dubo di thi jahaan tufaan ne kashti
vahaan sab the khudaa kyaa naa-khudaa kyaa

yaa to kisi ko jurat-e-didaar hi na ho
yaa phir miri nigaah se dekhaa kare koi

ham arz-e-vafaa bhi kar na sake kuchh kah na sake kuchh sun na sake
yaan ham ne zabaan hi kholi thi vaan aankh jhuki sharmaa bhi gae

tumhin to ho jise kahti hai naakhudaa duniyaa
bachaa sako to bachaa lo ki Dubtaa huun main

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

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

ye ilm kaa saudaa ye risaale ye kitaabein
ik shakhs ki yaadon ko bhulaane ke liye hain

aataa rahaa huun yaad main us ko tamaam umr
is zaaviye se ishq mein naakaam kab huaa

usi ki tarah mujhe saaraa zamaanaa chaahe
vo miraa hone se zyaada mujhe paanaa chaahe

main agar TuuTaa to saaraa shahr bikhregaa 'nabil'
aisaa patthar huun fasil-e-shahr ki buniyaad kaa
