aise hijr ke mausam kab kab aate hain — Shahryar

dil mein rakhtaa hai na palkon pe biThaataa hai mujhe
phir bhi ik shakhs mein kyaa kyaa nazar aataa hai mujhe

chal chal ke thak gayaa hai ki manzil nahin koi
kyuun vaqt ek moD pe Thahraa huaa saa hai

zabaan mili bhi to kis vaqt be-zabaanon ko
sunaane ke liye jab koi daastaan na rahi

safar kaa nashsha chaDhaa hai to kyuun utar jaae
maza to jab hai koi lauT ke na ghar jaae

har taraf apne ko bikhraa paaoge
aainon ko toD ke pachhtaaoge

bataaun kis tarah ahbaab ko aankhein jo aisi hain
ki kal palkon se TuuTi niind ki kirchein sameTin hain

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost

koi viraani si viraani hai
dasht ko dekh ke ghar yaad aayaa

tum se mile to khud se ziyaada
tum ko akelaa paayaa ham ne

yuun barasti hain tasavvur mein puraani yaadein
jaise barsaat ki rim-jhim mein samaan hotaa hai

us ko bhi yaad karne ki fursat na thi mujhe
masruf thaa main kuchh bhi na karne ke baavajud
