girne vaalaa hai miraa bojh sambhaale koi — Javed Naseemi

chaand kaa qurb lagaa kaisaa chalo puchh aaein
aasmaanon ke safar se vo palaT aayaa hai

dar-ba-dar ho gae taabir ki dhun mein kitne
in hasin khvaabon se baDh kar koi saffaak nahin

ek chehra hai jo aankhon mein basaa rahtaa hai
ik tasavvur hai jo tanhaa nahin hone detaa

jise na aane ki qasmein main de ke aayaa huun
usi ke qadmon ki aahaT kaa intizaar bhi hai

muddat hui ki zinda huun dekhe baghair use
vo shakhs mere dil se utar to nahin gayaa

zinda rahne ke liye asbaab de
meri aankhon ko tu apne khvaab de

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ai gham-e-zindagi na ho naaraaz
mujh ko aadat hai muskuraane ki

nazar bachaa ke jo aansu kiye the main ne paak
khabar na thi yahi dhabbe baneinge daaman ke
