abhi se subh-e-gulshan raqs-farmaa hai nigaahon mein — Parvez Shahidi

ye taaj ke saae mein zar-o-sim ke khirman
kyuun aatish-e-kashkol-e-gadaa se nahin Darte

miri zindagi ki zinat hui aafat-o-balaa se
main vo zulf-e-kham-ba-kham huun jo sanvar gai havaa se

na jaane kah gae kyaa aap muskuraane mein
hai dil ko naaz ki jaan aa gai fasaane mein

giit hariyaali ke gaaeinge sisakte hue khet
mehnat ab ghaarat-e-jaagir tak aa pahunchi hai

yaad hain aap ke toDe hue paimaan ham ko
kijiye aur na sharminda-e-ehsaan ham ko

guzraa hai kaun phuul khilaataa khiraam se
'shaadaab' aaj raahguzar paa rahaa huun main

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

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

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

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

main jis mein rah na sakaa ji-huzuriyon ke sabab
ye aadmi hai usi kaamyaab mausam kaa
