Rakh

na jaane kab se yunhi dil-shikasta baiThi hun
udas chehre ko apni hatheliyon mein liye

guzarne wali hai raat aur meri aankhon mein
jala rahi hai teri yaad aansuon ke diye

mera KHayal tha un zar-nigar mahlon mein
wo dil-kashi hai ki main tujh ko bhul jaungi

nashat-e-taza ke ehsas ki shuaon se
shabab-o-husn ki rahon ko jagmagaungi

magar KHabar na thi ye shoKH-o-shang hangame
meri jawan ummidon ka husn luTenge

sunahre KHwab KHizan-dida pattiyon ki tarah
ujDa ujaD ke baDi hasraton se TuTenge

main sochti hun ki ek jism ke pujari ko
meri wafa ne wafa ka suhag kyun samjha

hawas ke saz pe gae hue tarane ko
dhaDakte dil ki mohabbat ka rag kyun samjha

ye sim-o-zar ki bahaaron ka daur-e-sarmasti
meri fasurdagi-e-ruh ko na ras aaya

thaki thaki si jawani bujhi bujhi si hayat
main sochti hun tujhe kho ke main ne kya paya

ye Thik hai ki tera pyar sim-posh na tha
wafa-shanas tha lekin wafa-farosh na tha
