charaagh dafn kiye the 'nadim' qabron mein — Nadeem Bhabha

phir mujhe khud bhi khabar ho na saki main huun kahaan
aakhiri baar tire gaanv mein dekhaa gayaa huun

ham ghulaami ko muqaddar ki tarah jaante hain
ham tiri jiit tiri maat se nikle hue hain

kuchh phulon ki khaatir bhi kuchh phulon kaa
sab se achchhaa rang churaanaa paDtaa hai

ye tiri guftugu kaa lamha hai
is ghaDi hai miraa khudaa mire paas

tum ne jab us ki baat ki tum pe bhi pyaar aa gayaa
chumaa nahin tumhein miyaan garche maqaam thaa zarur

ungliyaan pher mere baalon mein
ye miraa dard-e-sar nahin jaataa

vo chaand hai to aks bhi paani mein aaegaa
kirdaar khud ubhar ke kahaani mein aaegaa

yakka ulaT ke rah gayaa ghoDaa bhaDak gayaa
kaali saDak pe chaand saa chehra chamak gayaa

miraa ghar teri manzil gaah ho aise kahaan taalea
khudaa jaane kidhar kaa chaand aaj ai maah-ru niklaa

vahaan iid kyaa vahaan diid kyaa
jahaan chaand raat na aai ho

iid ke baa'd vo milne ke liye aae hain
iid kaa chaand nazar aane lagaa iid ke baad

chaand bhi hairaan dariyaa bhi pareshaani mein hai
aks kis kaa hai ki itni raushni paani mein hai
