dukh se do chaar saal chhoTaa huun — Sarfraz Zahid

khiDki se jhaank kar kisi ne
manzar ko vaaqia banaayaa

kunein ki samt bulaa le na koi khvaab mujhe
main apne baap kaa sab se hasin beTaa huun

sab ko qudrat thi khush-kalaami par
khaamushi mein zabaan-daraaz thaa main

mohabbat aam saa ik vaaqia thaa
hamaare saath pesh aane se pahle

aa rahaa huun nasihatein le kar
us se kahnaa abhi javaan rahe

zinda ikaTThe ho rahe hain
lagtaa hai koi mar gayaa hai

mat dekh ki phirtaa huun tire hijr mein zinda
ye puchh ki jiine mein maza hai ki nahin hai

is balaa ko to khudaa jald kare shahr-badar
kaale paani ko ravaana shab-e-hijraan ho jaae

ai shab-e-hijraan ziyaada paanv phailaati hai kyuun
bhar gayaa jitnaa hamaari umr kaa paimaana thaa

kis qadar hijr mein behoshi hai
jaagnaa bhi hai hamaaraa sonaa

'faraaz' ishq ki duniyaa to khub-surat thi
ye kis ne fitna-e-hijr-o-visaal rakkhaa hai

shab-e-hijr kaa maajraa koele se
likhaa jaa ke main us ke divaar-o-dar par
