dard ki aanch banaa deti hai dil ko iksir — Javed Vashisht

aaj apne bhi paraae se nazar aate hain
pyaar ki rasm zamaane se uThi jaati hai

muddat se rahi farsh tiri raahguzar mein
tab jaa ke sitaaron se kahin aankh laDi hai

kaanTon pe chale hain to kahin phuul khile hain
phulon se mile hain to baDi choT lagi hai

ye to vaqt vaqt ki baat hai hamein un se koi gila nahin
vo hon aaj ham se khafaa khafaa kabhu ham se un ko bhi pyaar thaa

gham se ehsaas kaa aaina jilaa paataa hai
aur gham sikhe hai aa kar ye saliqa mujh se

aankh uThaao to hijaabaat kaa ik aalam hai
dil se dekho to koi raah mein haail bhi nahin

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

main ne junun se ki jo 'asad' iltimaas-e-rang
khun-e-jigar mein ek hi ghota diyaa mujhe

mil kar tapaak se na hamein kijiye udaas
khaatir na kijiye kabhi ham bhi yahaan ke the

meri qismat mein gham gar itnaa thaa
dil bhi yaa-rab kai diye hote
