kyaa asar thaa jazba-e-khaamosh mein — Shakeel Badayuni

meraa azm itnaa buland hai ki paraae sholon kaa Dar nahin
mujhe khauf aatish-e-gul se hai ye kahin chaman ko jalaa na de

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

kaafi hai mire dil ki tasalli ko yahi baat
aap aa na sake aap kaa paighaam to aayaa

kal raat zindagi se mulaaqaat ho gai
lab thartharaa rahe the magar baat ho gai

lamhe udaas udaas fazaaein ghuTi ghuTi
duniyaa agar yahi hai to duniyaa se bach ke chal

shaguftagi-e-dil-e-kaarvaan ko kyaa samjhe
vo ik nigaah jo uljhi hui bahaar mein hai

ik lahar us ki aankh mein hai hausla-shikan
ik rang us ke chehre pe bahkaane vaalaa hai

dil-e-sarshaar miraa chashm-e-siyah-mast tiri
jazba Takraa de na paimaane se paimaane ko

mushkil kaa saamnaa ho to himmat na haariye
himmat hai shart saahib-e-himmat se kyaa na ho

thaa e'timaad-e-husn se tu is qadar tahi
aaina dekhne kaa tujhe hausla na thaa

savaal karne ke hausle se javaab dene ke faisle tak
jo vaqfa-e-sabr aa gayaa thaa usi ki lazzat mein aa basaa huun

harf saare bol uTThein jab bhi main likhne lagun
ab koi jazba miraa mahv-e-duaa lagtaa nahin
