ek meri jaan mein aur ek lahar sahraon mein thi
kuchh nukile sang the kuchh ret dariyaon mein thi
kya hua wo garm dopahron mein yaKH hona mera
kya hui wo dhup si lazzat ki jo chhanw mein thi
kya KHabar kya jism the kyun mauj-e-sahra ho gae
kya bataen kis bala ki gunj dariyaon mein thi
shahr wale kab ke mahrum-e-basarat ho chuke
ratjage ki rasm to bas aankh ke ganw mein thi
apne sauda ke liye ye izzat-e-sang-e-rasa
kuchh adu ke hath mein kuchh apni rekhaon mein thi
ab to jismon mein lahu ki bund tak baqi nahin
phir bhi hum ko luTne ki hirs aaqaon mein thi
tu agar aazad lamhon ka payambar hai 'najib'
raat ki zanjir kyun phir waqt ke panw mein thi
Ghazal
Ek meri jaan mein aur ek lahar sahraon mein thi
Najeeb Ahmad
