phir kai zakhm-e-dil mahak uTThe — Javed Kamal Rampuri

haath phir baDh rahaa hai su-e-jaam
zindagi ki udaasiyon ko salaam

agar sukun se umr-e-aziz khonaa ho
kisi ki chaah mein khud ko tabaah kar liije

ab to aa jaao rasm-e-duniyaa ki
main ne divaar bhi giraa di hai

haae vo log ham se ruuTh gae
jin ko chaahaa thaa zindagi ki tarah

vahi be-vajh udaasi vahi be-naam khalish
raah-o-rasm-e-dil-e-naakaam se ji Dartaa hai

din ke siine mein dhaDakte hue lamhon ki qasam
shab ki raftaar-e-subuk-gaam se ji Dartaa hai

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

hamein batlaa na dein aashiq jo hain ru-e-kitaabi par
sabaq hai kyaa koi maashuq jis ko yaad karte hain

har ek lamha tiri yaad mein basar karnaa
hamein bhi aa gayaa ab khud ko mo'tabar karnaa

sukhan ke kuchh to guhar main bhi nazr kartaa chalun
ajab nahin ki karein yaad maah o saal mujhe

sayyaad ab jo izn-e-rihaai diyaa to kyaa
muddat hui ki aarzu-e-baal-o-par gai

is se baDh kar tiri yaadon ki karun kyaa taazim
teri yaadon mein zamaane ko bhulaa rakkhaa hai
