yuun tasavvur mein dabe paanv tiri yaad aai — Athar Raz

girti hui divaar kaa saaya thaa tiraa saath
phir bhi tiri baahon se judaa the to hamin the

ham gardish-e-girdaab-e-alam se nahin Darte
tufaan hai agar aaj kinaara bhi to hogaa

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

jaate hue kamre ki kisi chiiz ko chhu de
main yaad karungaa ki tire haath lage the

main jab bhuke parinde dekhtaa huun apne aangan mein
mujhe apne vatan ke nange bachche yaad aate hain

nahin hai jis kaa hal ab to koi 'nadim' bas ik sivaa tumhaare
main ek aisaa hi masala huun mujhe duaaon mein yaad rakhnaa

ai mire dost mire saath tiri yaadon ki
ret itni hai huaa jaataa hai sahraa chehra
