ik shakhs teri bazm se khaamosh uTh gayaa — Shamim Ravish

mujhe har shaam ik sunsaan jangal khinch letaa hai
aur is ke baa'd phir khuni balaaein raqs karti hain

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

jinhein ye fikr nahin sar rahe rahe na rahe
vo sach hi kahte hain jab bolne pe aate hain

fikr-e-rasaa pe jis ki khulein aasmaan ke raaz
aisaa koi 'adil' qad-aavar nahin rahaa

is qadar Duube gunaah-e-ishq mein tere habib
sochte hain jaaeinge kis munh se tauba ki taraf

firaaq mausam ki chilmanon se visaal lamhe chamak uTheinge
udaas shaamon mein kaaghaz-e-dil pe guzre vaqton ke baab likhnaa

asaas-e-jism uThaaun nae sire se magar
ye sochtaa huun ki miTTi miri kharaab to ho
