sulag rahaa hai chaman mein bahaar kaa mausam — Saeed Ahmad Akhtar

ye miraa ilhaam hai vo miri tadbir hai
main na junun kaa asiir main na khirad kaa ghulaam

ek ham tinon mein mar jaae to chhap jaaegi
likh to rakkhi hai tiri prem kahaani main ne

sajda kahaan lagaa hai hamaari jabin kaa
charchaa hai phir falak pe tire dar-nashin kaa

shabaab tum se karegaa jo tum ne ham se kiyaa
tumhaaraa husn bhi niklegaa bevafaa mausam

aayaa thaa sun ke shahr mein daulat ki rel-pel
kal mill mein kaT ke mar gayaa beTaa kisaan kaa

mire to phuul bhi tum ho sabaa bhi khushbu bhi
nahin ho tum to nahin mere kaam kaa mausam

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

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

gul kiyaa jis ne vo thaa aur magar
shama ne shikva havaaon se kiyaa

qabaa-e-laala-o-gul mein jhalak rahi thi khizaan
bhari bahaar mein royaa kiye bahaar ko ham

paa-ba-gil sab hain rihaai ki kare tadbir kaun
dast-basta shahr mein khole miri zanjir kaun
