kuchh aisaa kar ki khuld aabaad tak ai 'shaad' jaa pahunchein — Shad Azimabadi

jab kisi ne haal puchaa ro diyaa
chashm-e-tar tu ne to mujh ko kho diyaa

iid mein iid hui aish kaa saamaan dekhaa
dekh kar chaand jo munh aap kaa ai jaan dekhaa

naazuk thaa bahut kuchh dil meraa ai 'shaad' tahammul ho na sakaa
ik Thes lagi thi yuun hi si kiyaa jald ye shisha TuuT gayaa

talab karein bhi to kyaa shai talab karein ai 'shaad'
hamein to aap nahin apnaa muddaaa maalum

dekhaa kiye vo mast nigaahon se baar baar
jab tak sharaab aai kai daur ho gae

izhaar-e-muddaaa kaa iraada thaa aaj kuchh
tevar tumhaare dekh ke khaamosh ho gayaa

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

barseingi aaj rahmatein aamad hai yaar ki
naayaab hain ye ghaDiyaan tire intizaar ki

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

ab to zaahid bhi ye kahtaa hai baDi chuuk hui
jaam mein thi mai-e-kausar mujhe maalum na thaa

laakh aaftaab paas se ho kar guzar gae
ham baiThe intizaar-e-sahar dekhte rahe

tamaam umr tiraa intizaar ham ne kiyaa
is intizaar mein kis kis se pyaar ham ne kiyaa
