vo tere bichhaDne kaa samaan yaad jab aayaa — Ishrat Qadri

yuun zindagi guzar rahi hai meri
jo un ki hai vahi khushi hai meri

ik saaya sharmaataa lajaataa raah mein tanhaa chhoD gayaa
main parchhaain DhunD rahaa huun TuuTi hui divaaron par

in andheron se pare is shab-e-gham se aage
ik nai subh bhi hai shaam-e-alam se aage

kaun dekhegaa mujh mein ab chehra
aaina thaa bikhar gayaa huun main

zaahiri shakl meri zinda hai
aur andar se mar gayaa huun main

daryaaft kar ke khud ko zamaane se duur huun
har shakhs baa-shuur hai main be-shuur huun

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost

koi viraani si viraani hai
dasht ko dekh ke ghar yaad aayaa

ek parchhaain tasavvur ki mire saath rahe
main tujhe bhulun magar yaad mujhe tu aae

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