use ziyaada zarurat thi ghar basaane ki — Farhat Abbas Shah

us ke baare mein bahut sochtaa huun
mujh se bichhDaa to kidhar jaaegaa

baarish hui to ghar ke dariche se lag ke ham
chup-chaap sogvaar tumhein sochte rahe

kabhi sahar to kabhi shaam le gayaa mujh se
tumhaaraa dard kai kaam le gayaa mujh se

saans letaa huun to rotaa hai koi siine mein
dil dhaDaktaa hai to maatam ki sadaa aati hai

anaa ki jang mein ham jiit to gae lekin
phir us ke baad bahut der tak niDhaal rahe

main be-khayaal kabhi dhuup mein nikal aauun
to kuchh sahaab mire saath saath chalte hain

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

ishq ko husn ke atvaar se kyaa nisbat hai
vo hamein bhuul gae ham to unhein yaad karein

pahle us ko yaad kiyaa hai
phir aansu ijaad kiyaa hai

yaad kar ke aur bhi taklif hoti thi 'adim'
bhuul jaane ke sivaa ab koi bhi chaaraa na thaa

sataati hai tumhaari yaad jab mujh ko shab-e-hijraan
mujhe khud apni hasti ajnabi maalum hoti hai
