kyun teri qand-labi KHush-suKHani yaad aai
zahar-afshani-e-dunya-e-dani yaad aai
pae-gul-gasht-e-chaman phir dil-e-diwana chala
phir teri sarw-qadi gul-badani yaad aai
jab kisi jism pe sajte hue dekha hai libas
teri KHush-qamati KHush-pairahni yaad aai
yun nibaha tera wada tere gham ne barson
gham-e-ayyam ki paiman-shikani yaad aai
jam uThate hi dil umDa to bhar aain aankhen
chashm-e-saqi teri saghar-shikni yaad aai
yaad aai na kabhi be-sar-o-samani mein
dekh kar ghar ko gharib-ul-watani yaad aai
aaj dikhlate gul-afshani-e-guftar 'wahid'
lag gai chup jo wo ghuncha-dahni yaad aai
Ghazal
Kyun teri qand-labi KHush-suKHani yaad aai
Waheed Akhtar
