bahaar dard bharaa iqtibaas chhoD gai — Tauqeer Abbas

meri aankhon mein aa ke raakh huaa
jaane kis des kaa sitaaraa thaa

phir yahi baat na main bhuul sakaa
main use bhuul gayaa thaa ik din

chhoD aayaa thaa mez par chaae
ye judaai kaa istiaaraa thaa

vaqt kar degaa faisla is kaa
kaun sachchaa hai kaun jhuTaa hai

lahu meri nason mein bhi kabhi kaa jam chukaa thaa
badan par barf ko oDhe nadi bhi so rahi thi

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

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

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

ham haal to kah sakte hain apnaa pa kahein kyaa
jab vo idhar aate hain to tanhaa nahin aate

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

main ne apni palkon par gham-kade sajaae hain
aarzu ke maatam mein sogvaar hasti hai
