kyaa kahaani ko isi moD pa ruknaa hogaa — Javed Nasir

aahaT bhi agar ki to tah-e-zaat nahin ki
lafzon ne kai din se koi baat nahin ki

khulti hain aasmaan mein samundar ki khiDkiyaan
be-din raaston pe kahin apnaa ghar to hai

bahut udaas thaa us din magar huaa kyaa thaa
har ek baat bhali thi to phir buraa kyaa thaa

dasht ki dhuup hai jangal ki ghani raatein hain
is kahaani mein bahr haal kai baatein hain

dosto tum se guzaarish hai yahaan mat aao
is baDe shahr mein tanhaai bhi mar jaati hai

raat aa jaae to phir tujh ko pukaarun yaa-rab
meri aavaaz ujaale mein bikhar jaati hai

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

sabza o gul kahaan se aae hain
abr kyaa chiiz hai havaa kyaa hai

khudaa ke haath hai biknaa na biknaa mai kaa ai saaqi
baraabar masjid-e-jaame ke ham ne ab dukaan rakh di

yuun barasti hain tasavvur mein puraani yaadein
jaise barsaat ki rim-jhim mein samaan hotaa hai

barsaat kaa baadal to divaana hai kyaa jaane
kis raah se bachnaa hai kis chhat ko bhigonaa hai
