tum se chhuT kar bhi tumhein bhulnaa aasaan na thaa — Nida Fazli

ek be-chehra si ummid hai chehra chehra
jis taraf dekhiye aane ko hai aane vaalaa

kuchh bhi bachaa na kahne ko har baat ho gai
aao kahin sharaab piyein raat ho gai

apne lahje ki hifaazat kijiye
sher ho jaate hain naa-maalum bhi

ghi misri bhi bhej kabhi akhbaaron mein
kai dinon se chaae hai kaDvi yaa allaah

zaruri kyaa har ik mahfil mein baiThein
takalluf ki ravaa-daari se bachiye

yuun to qadam qadam pe hai divaar saamne
koi na ho to khud se ulajh jaanaa chaahiye

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

vo jo ik shakhs tumhein yaad kiyaa kartaa thaa
aaj masruf bahut hai use tum yaad karo

kyaa bhuul paD gai hai raste sanbhaalne mein
khud ko bhi yaad rakhnaa dushvaar ho rahaa hai

phir vahi kunj-e-qafas hai vahi sayyaad kaa ghar
chaar din aur havaa baagh ki khaa le bulbul

inqilaabaat-e-dahr ki buniyaad
haq jo haqdaar tak nahin pahunchaa
