jaise dekhaa ho aakhiri sapnaa — Siraj Faisal Khan

main kahkashaaon mein khushiyaan talaashne niklaa
mire sitaare meraa chaand sab udaas rahe

zamin mere sajde se tharraa gai
mujhe aasmaan se pukaaraa gayaa

bichhaD jaaeinge ham donon zamin par
ye us ne aasmaan par likh diyaa hai

vasl mein suukh gai hai miri sochon ki zamin
hijr aae to miri soch ko shaadaab kare

likkhaa hai taarikh ke safhe safhe par ye
shaahon ko bhi daas banaayaa jaa saktaa hai

aaj meri ik ghazal ne us ke honTon ko chhuaa
aaj pahli baar apni shaairi achchhi lagi

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

fazaaein chup hain kuchh aisi ki dard boltaa hai
badan ke shor mein kis ko pukaarein kyaa maangein

chaand tanhaa hai aasmaan tanhaa
dil milaa hai kahaan kahaan tanhaa
