us ko fursat bhi nahin mujh ko tamannaa bhi nahin — Kishwar Naheed

mardon ko sab ravaa pa hai aurat ko naaravaa
sharm-o-hayaa kaa shahr mein charchaa bhi hai ajab

hamein dekho hamaare paas baiTho ham se kuchh sikho
hamin ne pyaar maangaa thaa hamin ne daagh paae hain

dil mein hai mulaaqaat ki khvaahish ki dabi aag
mehndi lage haathon ko chhupaa kar kahaan rakkhun

kuchh din to malaal us kaa haq thaa
bichhDaa to khayaal us kaa haq thaa

apni be-chehragi chhupaane ko
aaine ko idhar udhar rakkhaa

kaun jaane ki uDti hui dhuup bhi
kis taraf kaun si manzilon mein gai

miri tamannaa hai ab ke tum phir milo to ji bhar ke muskuraaein
ki dekhnaa hai ye raushni kaa safar bahut der baa'd jaa kar

marte hain aarzu mein marne ki
maut aati hai par nahin aati

kabhi khauf thaa tire hijr kaa kabhi aarzu ke zavaal kaa
rahaa hijr-o-vasl ke darmiyaan tujhe kho sakaa na main paa sakaa

khvaahish sab rakhte hain tujh ko paane ki
aur phir apni apni qismat hoti hai

main nigaah-e-paak se dekhe thaa tire husn-e-paak ko is pe bhi
mire ji mein khvaahish-e-vasl thi tire dil mein bos-o-kanaar thaa

kyaa kyaa na pyaas jaage mire dil ke dasht mein
hasrat bhi ek aag hai laage jo raat bhar
