Tere baad

meri nigah ko ab bhi teri zarurat hai
dil-e-tabah ko ab bhi teri zarurat hai

KHarosh-e-nala taDapta hai teri furqat mein
sukut-e-ah ko ab bhi teri zarurat hai

ye subh-o-sham teri justuju mein phirte hain
ki mehr-o-mah ko ab bhi teri zarurat hai

bahaar-e-zulf pareshan liye hai gulshan mein
gul-o-giyah ko ab bhi teri zarurat hai

zamana DhunD raha hai koi naya tufan
sukun-e-rah ko ab bhi teri zarurat hai

wo walwale wo umangen wo justuju na rahi
teri sipah ko ab bhi teri zarurat hai

KHirad KHamosh junun be-KHarosh hai ab tak
dil-o-nigah ko ab bhi teri zarurat hai

bayan ho gham ka fasana dil-e-tapan se kahan
ye bar uTThega meri jaan-e-na-tawan se kahan

mila na phir kahin lutf-e-kalam tere baad
hadis-e-shauq rahi na-tamam tere baad

jo tere dast-e-hawadis shikan mein dekhi thi
wo tegh phir na hui be-niyam tere baad

bujhi bujhi si tabiat hai baada-KHwaron ki
udas udas hain mina-o-jam tere baad

bana hai harf-e-shikayat sukut-e-lala-o-gul
badal gaya hai chaman ka nizam tere baad

ada-e-husn ka lutf-e-KHiram be-mani
surud-e-shauq ki lazzat haram tere baad

taras gai hai samaat teri sadaon ko
suna na phir kahin tera payam tere baad

wo inqalab ki ru phir palaT gai afsos
buland baam hain phir zer-e-dam tere baad

misal-e-najm-e-sahar jagmaga ke Dub gaya
hamein safina kinare laga ke Dub gaya
