bahaar-e-nau ki phir hai aamad aamad — Safiya Shamim

jis ko dil se lagaa ke rakkhaa thaa
vo khazaana luTaa gae aansu

dasht gulzaar huaa jaataa hai
kyaa yahaan ahl-e-vafaa baiThe the

ronaa mujhe khizaan kaa nahin kuchh magar 'shamim'
is kaa gila hai aai chaman mein bahaar kyuun

hosh aayaa to kahin kuchh bhi na thaa
ham bhi kis bazm mein jaa baiThe the

honaa hai dard-e-ishq se gar lazzat-aashnaa
dil ko kharaab-e-talkhi-e-hijraan to kijiye

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

ai sanam tu vo kanhayyaa hai balaaein luun agar
baansuli ki tarah naalaan hon saraapaa ungliyaan

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

gulaabon ke honTon pe lab rakh rahaa huun
use der tak sochnaa chaahtaa huun

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