main khuun bahaa kar bhi huaa baagh mein rusvaa — Iqbal Sajid

suraj huun chamakne kaa bhi haq chaahiye mujh ko
main kohr mein lipTaa huun shafaq chaahiye mujh ko

vo chaand hai to aks bhi paani mein aaegaa
kirdaar khud ubhar ke kahaani mein aaegaa

apni anaa ki aaj bhi taskin ham ne ki
ji bhar ke us ke husn ki tauhin ham ne ki

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe

ab tu darvaaze se apne naam ki takhti utaar
lafz nange ho gae shohrat bhi gaali ho gai

suraj huun zindagi ki ramaq chhoD jaaungaa
main Duub bhi gayaa to shafaq chhoD jaaungaa

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

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

yaar ke darsan ke khaatir jaan aur tan bhuul jaa
aankh munavvar dekh us kaa rang-e-gulshan bhuul jaa

be-qaraari thi sab ummid-e-mulaaqaat ke saath
ab vo agli si daraazi shab-e-hijraan mein nahin

hai lutf hasinon ki do-rangi kaa 'amaanat'
do chaar gulaabi hon to do chaar basanti
