teraa naam likhti hain ungliyaan khalaaon mein — Ishrat Afreen

vo zakhm chun ke mire khaar mujh mein chhoD gayaa
ki us ko shauq thaa be-intihaa gulaabon kaa

kachchi umron mein bhi akeli rahi
main sadaa apni hi saheli rahi

yaa mujhe teri hatheli bujhe
yaa koi shokh saheli bujhe

bhuuk se yaa vabaa se marnaa hai
faisla aadmi ko karnaa hai

laDkiyaan maaon jaise muqaddar kyuun rakhti hain
tan sahraa aur aankh samundar kyuun rakhti hain

avval ahl-e-qabila ne parcham banaayaa use aur phir
pesh-e-dushman bhi taavaan mein sirf meri ridaa le gae

kaho kyaa mehrbaan naa-mehrbaan taqdir hoti hai
kahaa maan ki duaaon mein baDi taasir hoti hai

nahin vo sham-e-mohabbat rahi to phir 'aasim'
ye kis duaa se mire ghar mein raushni si hai

sikhaa na duaaon mein qanaaat kaa saliqa
vo maang rahaa huun jo muqaddar mein nahin hai

abr barse to inaayat us ki
shaakh to sirf duaa karti hai

kab tak tu aasmaan mein chhup ke baiThegaa
maang rahaa huun main kab se duaa baahar aa

hijr ki shab naala-e-dil vo sadaa dene lage
sunne vaale raat kaTne ki duaa dene lage
