jab tak tumhaaraa husn numaayaan na ho sakaa — Zahida Kamal

kahnaa paDaa unhin ko masihaa-e-vaqt bhi
jin se hamaare dard kaa darmaan na ho sakaa

afsaana-e-hayaat bani phuul ban gai
jab muskuraai koi kali iztiraab mein

shaamil na hote husn ke jalve agar 'kamaal'
hotaa kahaan ye nuur shab-e-maahtaab mein

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

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

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

main jis mein rah na sakaa ji-huzuriyon ke sabab
ye aadmi hai usi kaamyaab mausam kaa
