der se aa rahi hai yaad tiri — Sikandar Ali Wajd

ahl-e-himmat ko balaaon pe hansi aati hai
nang-e-hasti hai musibat mein pareshaan honaa

dil ki basti ajiib basti hai
ye ujaDne ke baa'd basti hai

tamiz-e-khvaab-o-haqiqat hai shart-e-bedaari
khayaal-e-azmat-e-maazi ko chhoD haal ko dekh

bahaar aae to khud hi laala o nargis bataa deinge
khizaan ke daur mein dilkash gulistaanon pe kyaa guzri

khudaa shaahid hai mere bhulne vaale ba-juz tere
mujhe takhliq-e-aalam raaegaan maalum hoti hai

jaane vaale kabhi nahin aate
jaane vaalon ki yaad aati hai

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

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

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

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

yaad rakhnaa bhi ik ibaadat hai
kyuun na ham un kaa haafiza ho jaaein

sunaa hai vo mire baare mein sochtaa hai bahut
khabar to hai hi magar mo'tabar zyaada nahin
