use bataanaa parinde use bulaate hain — Haseebul Hasan

sitaare dekhne vaale hamein bataate hain
hamaare honT tumhaari jabin ko tarseinge

tere khvaabon ke pichhe bhaagi thiin
meri aankhon mein paD gae chhaale

hamaari vahshat kisi puraane khanDar ke aaseb ki amaanat
hamaari ghazlein hamaari devi ki ek tirchhi nazar kaa sadqa

laakh miThe hon tire shahr ke chashme lekin
ham tire shahr ko khush-aab nahin kah sakte

qasam hai tere taghaaful ki tujh se pahle mujhe
nahin pata thaa ki ehsaas-e-kamtari kyaa hai

us ke meaar par khudaa laae
us nazar tak to aa gae hain ham

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
