baDi hasrat se insaan bachpane ko yaad kartaa hai — Nushur Wahidi

duniyaa ki bahaaron se aankhein yuun pher liin jaane vaalon ne
jaise koi lambe qisse ko paDhte paDhte uktaa jaae

hazaar shama farozaan ho raushni ke liye
nazar nahin to andheraa hai aadmi ke liye

khaak aur khuun se ik shama jalaai hai 'nushur'
maut se ham ne bhi sikhi hai hayaat-aaraai

diyaa khaamosh hai lekin kisi kaa dil to jaltaa hai
chale aao jahaan tak raushni maalum hoti hai

sarak kar aa gaiin zulfein jo in makhmur aankhon tak
main ye samjhaa ki mai-khaane pe badli chhaai jaati hai

aghyaar ko gul-pairahani ham ne ataa ki
apne liye phulon kaa kafan ham ne banaayaa

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

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

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

phir mujhe dida-e-tar yaad aayaa
dil jigar tishna-e-fariyaad aayaa

sayyaad teraa ghar mujhe jannat sahi magar
jannat se bhi sivaa mujhe raahat chaman mein thi

us ko bhi yaad karne ki fursat na thi mujhe
masruf thaa main kuchh bhi na karne ke baavajud
