qimat mire sone ki vahaan khaak lagegi — 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

dukh se do chaar saal chhoTaa huun
hijr se ek din baDaa huun

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

zinda ikaTThe ho rahe hain
lagtaa hai koi mar gayaa hai

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe

sach ishq mein hain aashiq o maashuq baraabar
jo mushkil-e-majnun hai so hai mushkil-e-lailaa

barsaat tham chuki hai magar har shajar ke paas
itnaa to hai ki aap kaa daaman bhigo sake

mehraab-e-abruvaan kuun vasma huaa hai zevar
kyuun kar kahein na un kuun ab zinatul-masaajid

aisi hi ek shab mein kisi se milaa thaa dil
baarish ke saath saath barasti hai raushni

azal se dil hai sajda mein tire abru ke masjid mein
uThaataa sar nahin ab tak namaazi us ko kahte hain
