khaakistar-e-dil mein to na thaa ek sharar bhi — Iqbal Sohail

jo tasavvur se maavaraa na huaa
vo to banda huaa khudaa na huaa

na rahaa koi taar daaman mein
ab nahin haajat-e-rafu mujh ko

husn-e-fitrat ki aabru mujh se
aab o gil mein hai rang-o-bu mujh se

vo shabnam kaa sukun ho yaa ki parvaane ki betaabi
agar uDne ki dhun hogi to honge baal-o-par paidaa

aashob-e-iztiraab mein khaTkaa jo hai to ye
gham teraa mil na jaae gham-e-rozgaar mein

kuchh aisaa hai fareb-e-nargis-e-mastaana barson se
ki sab bhule hue hain kaaba o but-khaana barson se

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

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

barsaat kaa baadal to divaana hai kyaa jaane
kis raah se bachnaa hai kis chhat ko bhigonaa hai

badalte vaqt ne badle mizaaj bhi kaise
tiri adaa bhi gai meraa baankpan bhi gayaa

na ho ehsaas to saaraa jahaan hai be-his-o-murda
gudaaz-e-dil ho to dukhti ragein milti hain patthar mein

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi
