chale bhi aao ki ye Dubtaa huaa suraj — Bashir Farooqi

tazkire mein tire ik naam ko yuun joD diyaa
doston ne mujhe shishe ki tarah toD diyaa

pahle ham ne ghar banaa kar faasle paidaa kiye
phir uThaa diin aur divaarein gharon ke darmiyaan

ham tere paas aa ke pareshaan hain bahut
ham tujh se duur rahne ko tayyaar bhi nahin

aagahi karb vafaa sabr tamannaa ehsaas
mere hi siine mein utre hain ye khanjar saare

ajab si aag thi jaltaa rahaa badan saaraa
tamaam umr vo honTon pe ban ke pyaas rahaa

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge

ghazal mein jab talak ehsaas ki shiddat na ho shaamil
faqat alfaaz ki kaarigari mahsus hoti hai

zindagi phaili hui thi shaam-e-hijraan ki tarah
kis ko itnaa hausla thaa kaun ji kar dekhtaa

shaam ke tiir se zakhmi hai 'khurshid' kaa siina
nuur simaT kar surkh kabutar ban jaataa hai

dard ki lahr mein zindagi bah gai
umr yuun kaT gai hijr ki shaam mein
