saKHt mushkil mein kiya hijr ne aasan mujhe
dusra ishq hua pahle ke dauran mujhe
tere andar ki udasi ke mushabah hun main
KHal-o-KHad se nahin aawaz se pahchan mujhe
ajnabi shahr mein ek luqme ko tarsa hua main
mezban jismon ne samjha nahin mehman mujhe
ek hi shakl ke sab chehre the lekin phir bhi
ek chehre ne to behad kiya hairan mujhe
main mohabbat bhi mohabbat ke ewaz deta hun
phir bhi ho jata hai is kaam mein nuqsan mujhe
bhule-bisre kisi naghme ki si shadab aawaz
raat kanon mein paDi kar gai sunsan mujhe
jaane kab saunp dun miTTi ko ye miTTi ka qafas
jaane kab dena paDe ruh ka tawan mujhe
Ghazal
SaKHt mushkil mein kiya hijr ne aasan mujhe
Anjum Saleemi
