gae dinon mein ronaa bhi to kitnaa sachchaa thaa — Hasan Akbar Kamal

kal yahi bachche samundar ko muqaabil paaeinge
aaj tairaate hain jo kaaghaz ki nannhi kashtiyaan

baDon ne us ko chhin liyaa hai bachchon se
khabar nahin ab kyaa ho haal khilaune kaa

banaae jaataa thaa main apne haath ko kashkol
so meri ruuh mein khanjar utartaa jaataa thaa

na TuuTe aur kuchh din tujh se rishta is tarah meraa
mujhe barbaad kar de tu magar aahista aahista

diye bujhaati rahi dil bujhaa sake to bujhaae
havaa ke saamne ye imtihaan rakhnaa hai

vafaa parchhaain ki andhi parastish
mohabbat naam hai mahrumiyon kaa

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai
