dil vo sahraa hai jahaan hasrat-e-saaya bhi nahin — Atta Shad

dard ki dhuup mein sahraa ki tarah saath rahe
shaam aai to lipaT kar hamein divaar kiyaa

vo kyaa talab thi tire jism ke ujaale ki
main bujh gayaa to miraa khaana-e-kharaab sajaa

dilon ke dard jagaa khvaahishon ke khvaab sajaa
balaa-kashaan-e-nazar ke liye saraab sajaa

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

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

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

dil-e-haris hi apnaa na ho sakaa qaane
vagarna tere karam mein to kuchh kami na rahi

main badalte hue haalaat mein Dhal jaataa huun
dekhne vaale adaakaar samajhte hain mujhe

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi
