mujh se ziyaada kaun tamaasha dekh sakegaa — Nazir Wahid

dekhne vaale tujhe dekhte honge lekin
dekhne vaalon ko hairat bhi to hoti hogi

paDhne vaalaa bhi to kartaa hai kisi se mansub
sabhi kirdaar kahaani ke nahin hote hain

ik nae gham se kinaaraa bhi to ho saktaa hai
ishq phir ham ko dobaaraa bhi to ho saktaa hai

hausle dard-bayaani ke nahin hote hain
ab yahaan lafz maaani ke nahin hote hain

rang darkaar the ham ko tiri khaamoshi ke
ek aavaaz ki tasvir banaani thi hamein

likhte likhte hi laDi aankh jo raani se miri
phir to raajaa ko nikalnaa thaa kahaani se miri

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

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

koi viraani si viraani hai
dasht ko dekh ke ghar yaad aayaa

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost

yuun barasti hain tasavvur mein puraani yaadein
jaise barsaat ki rim-jhim mein samaan hotaa hai

yaad rakhnaa bhi ik ibaadat hai
kyuun na ham un kaa haafiza ho jaaein
