kisi ki yaad manaane mein iid guzregi — Ishaq Virdag

khairaat mein de aayaa huun jiiti hui baazi
duniyaa ye samajhti hai ki main haar gayaa huun

asaatiza ne miraa haath thaam rakkhaa hai
isi liye to main pahunchaa huun apni manzil par

aisi taraqqi par to ronaa bantaa hai
jis mein dahshat-gard corona bantaa hai

baazaar hain khaamosh to galiyon pe hai sakta
ab shahr mein tanhaai kaa Dar bol rahaa hai

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

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

aadat ke baa'd dard bhi dene lagaa mazaa
hans hans ke aah aah kiye jaa rahaa huun main

naaz kar naaz tire naaz pe hai naaz mujhe
meri tanhaai hai partav tiri yaktaai kaa
