Bashir Mehtaab

hasin yaden vo bachpan ki kahin dil se na kho jaa.en
main apne ashiyane men khilaune ab bhi rakhta huun

jise manzil samajh kar ruk ga.e ham
vahin se apna aghaz-e-safar tha

mohabbat banTana sikho mohabbat hai ata rab ki
mohabbat banTne vaale tavil-ul-umr hote hain

ye baton men narmi ye tahzib-o-adab
sabhi kuchh mila ham ko urdu zaban se

mujh ko akhbar si lagti hain tumhari baten
har na.e roz naya fitna bayan karti hain

zindagi fan nahin madari ka
paniyon se diye nahin jalte

yuun mohabbat ko umr-bhar paDhnaa
zindagi imtihaan ho jaise

mujh ko akhbaar si lagti hain tumhaari baatein
har nae roz nayaa fitna bayaan karti hain

hasin yaadein vo bachpan ki kahin dil se na kho jaaein
main apne aashiyaane mein khilaune ab bhi rakhtaa huun

apni kamar se aap hi baandhe safar tamaam
phir yuun huaa ki main kabhi apnaa nahin banaa

ik bevafaa ke pyaar mein had se guzar gae
kaafir ke pyaar ne hamein kaafir banaa diyaa

zindagi fan nahin madaari kaa
paaniyon se diye nahin jalte
