jab koi naujavaan martaa hai — Farooq Nazki

bhaTak na jaataa agar zaat ke bayaabaan mein
to meraa naqsh-e-qadam meraa raahbar hotaa

kaanch ke alfaaz kaaghaz par na rakh
sang-e-maani ban ke Takraaungaa main

hisaar-e-khauf-o-hiraas mein hai butaan-e-vahm-o-gumaan ki basti
mujhe khabar hi nahin ki ab main junub mein yaa shumaal mein huun

aap ki tasvir thi akhbaar mein
kyaa sabab hai aap ghar jaate nahin

tu khudaa hai to bajaa mujh ko Daraataa kyuun hai
jaa mubaarak ho tujhe tere karam kaa saaya

mujh se kyaa puchhte ho naam pata
main to bas aap kaa hi saaya huun

miri tamannaa hai ab ke tum phir milo to ji bhar ke muskuraaein
ki dekhnaa hai ye raushni kaa safar bahut der baa'd jaa kar

lazzat-e-dard-e-mohabbat jo numaayaan ho jaae
har farishte ko ye hasrat ho ki insaan ho jaae

bin maange mil rahaa ho to khvaahish fuzul hai
suraj se raushni ki guzaarish fuzul hai

khvaahish se kab hai teri talab aarzu se hai
ik samt se nahin ye ghazab chaar-su se hai

ek bosa miri tankhvaah mile na mile
aarzu hai ki na qadmon se ye naukar chhuTe

palak fasaana sharaarat hijaab tiir duaa
tamannaa niind ishaara khumaar sakht thaki
