kis tarah bhulaaein ham is shahr ke hangaame — Saghar Azmi

shohrat ki fazaaon mein itnaa na uDo 'saaghar'
parvaaz na kho jaae in unchi uDaanon mein

shaam Dhale ye soch ke baiThe ham apni tasvir ke paas
saari ghazlein baiThi hongi apne apne miir ke paas

tum kyaa jaano apne aap se kitnaa main sharminda huun
chhuT gayaa hai saath tumhaaraa aur abhi tak zinda huun

kashmir ki vaadi mein be-parda jo nikle ho
kyaa aag lagaaoge barfili chaTaanon mein

tum se milti-julti main aavaaz kahaan se laaungaa
taaj-mahal ban jaae agar mumtaaz kahaan se laaungaa

itnaa naaraaz ho kyuun us ne jo patthar pheinkaa
us ke haathon se kabhi phuul bhi aayaa hogaa

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

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

ek kaanTe ki khaTak se dil miraa aabaad thaa
vo gayaa to dil se mere dard ki raahat gai

kitne saada hain ham ki baiThe hain
daagh-e-dil aansuon se dhone ko
