har mulaaqaat kaa anjaam judaai kyuun hai — 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

is judaai mein tum andar se bikhar jaaoge
kisi maazur ko dekhoge to yaad aaungaa

ik tire kahne se meraa kam nahin kirdaar hogaa
ye alag hai baat main teri kahaani mein nahin huun

firaaq-e-khuld se gandum hai sina-chaak ab tak
ilaahi ho na vatan se koi gharib judaa

bichhaDnaa bhi tumhaaraa jite-ji ki maut hai goyaa
use kyaa khaak lutf-e-zindagi jis se judaa tum ho

is qadar musalsal thiin shiddatein judaai ki
aaj pahli baar us se main ne bevafaai ki

roza-daaraan-e-judaai kuun kham-e-abru-e-yaar
maah-e-id-e-ramazaan thaa mujhe maalum na thaa
