tiri yaad siine se rukhsat hui — Yasir Tahsin

haae vo shokh sandali qaamat
jis ne mujh be-niyaaz ko maaraa

chal diye hain bol kar vaapas na lauTeinge kabhi
chal diye hain ik daf'a phir lauT aane ke liye

tum jo kahte ho chuum loge hamein
karne vaale kahaa nahin karte

us ne din jaldi Dhalne ki khvaahish ki
dharti ne raftaar baDhaa di gardish ki

pahle tu ik jhuTe gham mein miT jaane kaa naaTak rach
phir duniyaa ko jaa jaa kar batlaa tu kitne dukh mein hai

aisi tanhaa raaton mein hi aati hai
ek ghazal jo shaa'ir ko khaa jaati hai

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

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

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

sab ko ham bhuul gae josh-e-junun mein lekin
ik tiri yaad thi aisi jo bhulaai na gai

us ko bhi yaad karne ki fursat na thi mujhe
masruf thaa main kuchh bhi na karne ke baavajud

jiinaa taDap taDap kar marnaa sisak sisak kar
fariyaad ek ji hai kyaa kyaa kharaabiyon mein
