ai vahshat-e-sahraa mire qadmon se lipaT jaa — Moid Rasheedi

bichhaDte vaqt kahnaa thaa bahut kuchh
main kyaa kahtaa judaa hone se pahle

vo chaahte hain ki har baat maan li jaae
aur ek main huun ki har baat kaaT detaa huun

ab eatibaar nahin meri jaan kisi kaa nahin
charaagh sab ke liye hai dhuaan kisi kaa nahin

havas ki dhuup mein phailaa hai shor-e-khalq-e-khudaa
sunaa kisi ne nahin bastiyon mein girya-e-khaak

mujh ko paane ki tamanna mein vo gharqaab huaa
main ne saahil ki tamanna mein use khoyaa hai

itnaa aasaan nahin lafzon ko ghazal kar lenaa
shor ko sher banaane mein jigar lagtaa hai

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

yaadon ki rut ke aate hi sab ho gae hare
ham to samajh rahe the sabhi zakhm bhar gae
