khilte hain dil mein phuul tiri yaad ke tufail — Muzaffar Hanfi

aangan mein ye raat ki raani saanpon kaa ghar kaaT ise
kamra albatta suunaa hai kone mein guldaan lagaa

roti hui ek bhiiD mire gird khaDi thi
shaayad ye tamaasha mire hansne ke liye thaa

shukriya reshmi dilaase kaa
tiir to aap ne bhi maaraa thaa

bachpan mein aakaash ko chhutaa saa lagtaa thaa
is pipal ki shaakhein ab kitni nichi hain

bataaein kyaa ki bechaini baDhaate hain vahi aa kar
bahut bechain ham jin ke liye maalum hote hain

bheDiye aur ishtiraak-shudaa
biich mein ik hiran halaak-shudaa

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

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

shokh havaaon ke aanchal mein tham tham kar
shaam se hi hain dard puraane yaad aae

mujhe dard ki baarishon mein bahaa kar
vo rahnaa tiraa be-khabar yaad aayaa

ik tiri yaad gale aise paDi hai ki 'najib'
aaj kaa kaam bhi ham kal pe uThaa rakhte hain

na taDapne ki ijaazat hai na fariyaad ki hai
ghuT ke mar jaaun ye marzi mire sayyaad ki hai
