aaj teri yaad se Takraa ke TukDe ho gayaa — Hasan Abbasi

vo baad-e-muddat milaa to rone ki aarzu mein
nikal ke aankhon se gir paDe chand khvaab aage

kabhi jo aankhon ke aa gayaa aaftaab aage
tire tasavvur mein ham ne kar li kitaab aage

us ajnabi se haath milaane ke vaaste
mahfil mein sab se haath milaanaa paDaa mujhe

hasin yaadon ke chaand ko alvidaaa kah kar
main apne ghar ke andhere kamron mein lauT aayaa

mohabbat mein kaThin raste bahut aasaan lagte the
pahaaDon par suhulat se chaDhaa karte the ham donon

mujh ko maalum thaa ik roz chalaa jaaegaa!
vo miri umr ko yaadon ke havaale kar ke

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

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ik sadma-e-mohabbat ik sadma-e-judaai
ginti ke do hain lekin laakhon ki jaan par hain

ye saal tul-e-masaafat se chuur chuur gayaa
ye ek saal to guzraa hai ik sadi ki tarah
