hijr se vasl ki itni thi masaafat yaaro — Zahoor Chohan

aakhiri baar mulaaqaat to kar li hai magar
silsila apni mohabbat kaa kahaan aakhiri hai

rahtaa huun main jitnaa saath sab ke
lagtaa hai akelaa ho gayaa huun

main apne aap mein taqsim hone lagtaa huun
use kaho ki mire saamne na aayaa kare

kabhi kabhi to miraa ghar bhi mujh se puchhtaa hai
ki is jahaan mein koi teraa ghar bhi hai ki nahin

inhi jhuke hue peDon se guftugu hai miri
janaab mere buzurgon se guftugu hai miri

puuri ho jaati agar koi kahaani hoti
ye mohabbat hai miyaan is mein kasak rahti hai

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

barseingi aaj rahmatein aamad hai yaar ki
naayaab hain ye ghaDiyaan tire intizaar ki

yaar bhi raah ki divaar samajhte hain mujhe
main samajhtaa thaa mire yaar samajhte hain mujhe

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

ek din puchhaa na 'haatim' ko kabhu us ne ki dost
kab se tu bimaar hai aur kyaa tujhe aazaar hai

faqiron ke gharon mein lutf ki raatein bhi aati hain
ziyaarat ke liye aksar musammaatein bhi aati hain
