usi ki shakl mujhe chaand mein nazar aae — Ghulam Mohammad Qasir

baghair us ke ab aaraam bhi nahin aataa
vo shakhs jis kaa mujhe naam bhi nahin aataa

pyaar gayaa to kaise milte rang se rang aur khvaab se khvaab
ek mukammal ghar ke andar har tasvir adhuri thi

is tarah qaht-e-havaa ki zad mein hai meraa vajud
aandhiyaan pahchaan leti hain ba-aasaani mujhe

saayon ki zad mein aa gaiin saari ghulaam-gardishein
ab to kaniz ke liye raah-e-faraar bhi nahin

aayaa hai ik raah-numaa ke istiqbaal ko ik bachcha
peT hai khaali aankh mein hasrat haathon mein gul-dasta hai

pahle ik shakhs meri zaat banaa
aur phir puuri kaaenaat banaa

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

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

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

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

main jis mein rah na sakaa ji-huzuriyon ke sabab
ye aadmi hai usi kaamyaab mausam kaa
