use ab bhuul jaane kaa iraada kar liyaa hai — Ata Ul Haq Qasmi

dilon se khauf nikaltaa nahin azaabon kaa
zamin ne oDh liye sar par aasmaan phir se

lagtaa nahin ki us se maraasim bahaal hon
main kyaa karun ki thoDaa saa paagal to main bhi huun

jis ki khaatir main bhulaa baiThaa thaa apne aap ko
ab usi ke bhuul jaane kaa hunar bhi dekhnaa

vo ek shakhs ki manzil bhi raastaa bhi hai
vahi duaa bhi vahi haasil-e-duaa bhi hai

ye kis azaab mein us ne phansaa diyaa mujh ko
ki us kaa dhyaan koi kaam karne detaa nahin

gum huaa jaataa hai koi manzilon ki gard mein
zindagi bhar ki masaafat raaegaan hone ko hai

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

ik bosa maangtaa huun main khairaat-e-husn ki
do maal ki zakaat ki daulat ziyaada ho

tamaam yaadein mahak rahi hain har ek ghuncha khilaa huaa hai
zamaana biitaa magar gumaan hai ki aaj hi vo judaa huaa hai

main tinke chuntaa phirtaa huun sayyaad tiliyaan
tayyaar ho rahaa hai qafas aashiyaan ke saath

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

aati hai yaad subh-e-masarrat ki baar baar
khurshid aate aate use kal uThaa to laa
