jhilmilaate hue ashkon ki laDi TuuT gai — Saghar Siddiqui

ab shahr-e-aarzu mein vo raanaaiyaan kahaan
hain gul-kade niDhaal baDi tez dhuup hai

kal jinhein chhu nahin sakti thi farishton ki nazar
aaj vo raunaq-e-baazaar nazar aate hain

charaagh-e-tur jalaao baDaa andheraa hai
zaraa naqaab uThaao baDaa andheraa hai

log kahte hain raat biit chuki
mujh ko samjhaao! main sharaabi huun

ye zulf-bar-dosh kaun aayaa ye kis ki aahaT se gul khile hain
mahak rahi hai fazaa-e-hasti tamaam aalam bahaar saa hai

teri surat jo ittifaaq se ham
bhuul jaaein to kyaa tamaashaa ho

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

jinhein ye fikr nahin sar rahe rahe na rahe
vo sach hi kahte hain jab bolne pe aate hain

maango samundaron se na saahil ki bhiik tum
haan fikr o fan ke vaaste gahraai maang lo

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

ishq mein fikr to divaana banaa deti hai
pyaar ko aql nahin dil ki panaahon mein rakho

zaat mein jis ki ho Thahraav zamin ki maanind
fikr mein us ki samundar ki si vusat hogi
