shiddat-e-shauq mein kuchh itnaa use yaad kiyaa — Manzoor Hashmi

yaqin ho to koi raasta nikaltaa hai
havaa ki oT bhi le kar charaagh jaltaa hai

tiis chaalis din to kaaT diye
aur kitne hain is mahine mein

qubul kaise karun un kaa faisla ki ye log
mire khilaaf hi meraa bayaan maangte hain

sunaa hai sachchi ho niyat to raah khulti hai
chalo safar na karein kam se kam iraada karein

kabhi kabhi to kisi ajnabi ke milne par
bahut puraanaa koi silsila nikaltaa hai

hadaf bhi mujh ko banaanaa hai aur mere harif
mujhi se tiir mujhi se kamaan maangte hain

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

jiinaa taDap taDap kar marnaa sisak sisak kar
fariyaad ek ji hai kyaa kyaa kharaabiyon mein

sab ko ham bhuul gae josh-e-junun mein lekin
ik tiri yaad thi aisi jo bhulaai na gai

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

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

ulfat-e-sayyaad se majbur huun ai ham-nafas
varna ab bhi baazuon mein quvvat-e-parvaaz hai
