parinde yaadon ke aate hain lauT jaate hain — Azm Shakri

main ne ik shahr hamesha ke liye chhoD diyaa
lekin us shahr ko aaankhon mein basaa laayaa huun

aaj ki raat divaali hai diye raushan hain
aaj ki raat ye lagtaa hai main so saktaa huun

zakhm jo tum ne diyaa vo is liye rakkhaa haraa
zindagi mein kyaa bachegaa zakhm bhar jaane ke baad

vaqt-e-rukhsat aab-dida aap kyuun hain
jism se to jaan hamaari jaa rahi hai

yuun baar baar mujh ko sadaaein na dijiye
ab vo nahin rahaa huun koi dusraa huun main

aansuon se likh rahe hain bebasi ki daastaan
lag rahaa hai dard ki tasvir ban jaaeinge ham

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

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

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost

koi viraani si viraani hai
dasht ko dekh ke ghar yaad aayaa

phaDkun to sar phaTe hai na phaDkun to ji ghaTe
tang is qadar diyaa mujhe sayyaad ne qafas

ne tiir kamaan mein hai na sayyaad kamin mein
goshe mein qafas ke mujhe aaraam bahut hai
