aise musaafiraan-e-adam tang-dil gae — Naseem Dehlvi

harfon ke mile joD baDhaa husn raqam kaa
har lafz ke paivand mein bakhiya hai qalam kaa

tasadduq hone vaale pis na jaaein
uThaae haath se daaman ko chaliye

allaah re taraddud-e-khaatir ki kasratein
tuuda banaa diyaa mujhe gard-e-malaal kaa

husn-e-barahnagi ke uThaate baDe maze
hotaa na ruuh ko jo libaas-e-badan hijaab

ek se do daagh do se chaar phir to saikDon
khilte khilte phuul siine par gulistaan ho gayaa

matlab hai miraa aariz-e-pur-nur kaa jalva
aashiq huun tiraa naam ko banda huun khudaa kaa

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

main badalte hue haalaat mein Dhal jaataa huun
dekhne vaale adaakaar samajhte hain mujhe

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai
