junun-aasaar mausam kaa pata koi nahin degaa — Farooq Nazki

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

jab koi naujavaan martaa hai
aarzu kaa jahaan martaa hai

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

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

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

vo dard huun koi chaara nahin hai jis kaa kahin
vo zakhm huun ki hai dushvaar indimaal miraa

baarish ke baa'd raat saDak aaina si thi
ik paanv paaniyon pe paDaa chaand hil gayaa

nur-e-sahar kahaan hai agar shaam-e-gham gai
kab iltifaat thaa ki jo khu-e-sitam gai
