akhroT khaaein taapein angeThi pe aag aa — Nasir Shahzad

dariyaa pe Tikri se pare khaanqaah thi
tab tere mere pyaar ki duniyaa gavaah thi

dekhaa qad-e-gunaah pe jab is ko multafit
baDh kar had-e-nigaah lagi us ko Dhaanpne

yaad aae tu mujh ko bahut jab shab kaTe jab pau phaTe
jab vaadiyon mein duur tak kohraa dikhe be-ant saa

khile dhaan khilkhilaa kar paDe naddiyon mein naake
ghani khushbuon se mahke mire des ke ilaaqe

hijraton mein huzuriyon ke jatan
paanv ko duriyon ne gheraa hai

ek kaaTaa raam ne siitaa ke saath
dusraa ban boss mere naam par

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

hasin khvaab ko sachchaa samajh rahaa hai koi
faqat gumaan ko duniyaa samajh rahaa hai koi
