vo kabhi aaghaaz kar sakte nahin — 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

na tum hosh mein ho na ham hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein vahin baat hogi

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

taa ki angur hare hon mire zakhm-e-dil ke
dhaani angiyaa mire dildaar ne rangvaai hai

aaj kis ki jaan se kheloge ai chaaragaro
aaj pahlu mein mire zakhm-e-jigar koi nahin

aakhir gil apni sarf-e-dar-e-mai-kada hui
pahunche vahaan hi khaak jahaan kaa khamir ho

vaah kyaa us gul-badan kaa shokh hai rang-e-badan
jaama-e-aabi agar pahnaa gulaabi ho gayaa
