Andeshe

ruh bechain hai ek dil ki aziyyat kya hai
dil hi shoala hai to ye soz-e-mohabbat kya hai

wo mujhe bhul gai is ki shikayat kya hai
ranj to ye hai ki ro ro ke bhulaya hoga

wo kahan aur kahan kahish-e-gham, sozish-e-jaan
us ki rangin nazar aur nuqush-e-hirman

us ka ehsas-e-latif aur shikast-e-arman
tana-zan ek zamana nazar aaya hoga

jhuk gai hogi jawan-sal umangon ki jabin
miT gai hogi lalak, Dub gaya hoga yaqin

chha gaya hoga dhuan, ghum gai hogi zamin
apne pahle hi gharaunde ko jo Dhaya hoga

dil ne aise bhi kuchh afsane sunae honge
ashk aankhon ne piye aur na bahae honge

band kamre mein jo KHat mere jalae honge
ek ek harf jabin par ubhar aaya hoga

us ne ghabra ke nazar lakh bachai hogi
miT ke ek naqsh ne sau shakl dikhai hogi

mez se jab meri taswir haTai hogi
har taraf mujh ko taDapta hua paya hoga

be-mahal chheD pe jazbaat ubal aae honge
gham pasheman-e-tabassum mein Dhal aae honge

nam par mere jab aansu nikal aae honge
sar na kandhe se saheli ke uThaya hoga

zulf zid kar ke kisi ne jo haTai hogi
ruThe jalwon pe KHizan aur bhi chhai hogi

barq ashwon ne kai din na girai hogi
rang chehre pe kai roz na aaya hoga
