aaj tanhai ne thoDa sa dilasa jo diya
kitne ruThe hue sathi mujhe yaad aae hain
mausam-e-wasl ki kirnon ka wo amboh rawan
jis ke hamrah kisi zohra-jabin ki Doli
aise utri thi ki jaise koi aayat utre
hijr ki sham ke bikhre hue kajal ki lakir
jis ne aankhon ke gulabon pe shafaq chhiDki thi
jaise KHushbu kisi jangal mein barahna Thahre
KHilqat-e-shahr ki jaanib se malamat ka azab
jis ne akasr mujhe hone ka yaqin baKHsha tha
dast-e-adaen wo khinchti hui tohmat ki kaman
barish-e-sang mein khulti hui tiron ki dukan
mehrban dost rifaqat ka bharam rakhte hue
ajnabi log dil-o-jaan mein qadam rakhte hue
aaj tanhai ne thoDa sa dilasa jo diya
kitne ruThe hue sathi mujhe yaad aae hain
ab na pindar-e-wafa hai na mohabbat ki jaza
dast-e-ada ki kashish hai na rafiqon ki saza
taKHta-e-dar na mansab na adalat ki KHalish
ab to ek chiKH si honTon mein dabi rahti hai
ras aaega kise dasht-e-bala mere baad
kaun mangega ujaDne ki dua mere baad
aaj tanhai ne thoDa sa dilasa jo diya
Nazm
Aaj tanhai ne thoDa sa dilasa jo diya
