yaad hain aap ke toDe hue paimaan ham ko — 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

abhi se subh-e-gulshan raqs-farmaa hai nigaahon mein
abhi puuri naqaab ulTi nahin hai shaam-e-sahraa ne

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

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

jiinaa taDap taDap kar marnaa sisak sisak kar
fariyaad ek ji hai kyaa kyaa kharaabiyon mein

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

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

maan bhi luun ki tiri yaad mahaz vaahima hai
phir bhi vo yaad hi dam-saaz rahi shaam-o-sahar
