Shabana Yousaf

"abhi se chhoTi hui ja rahi hain divaren abhi to beTi zara si miri baDi hui hai"

"mujh ko bhi kar dega rusva vo zamane bhar men khud bhi ho ja.ega badnam yahi lagta hai"

"khud charaghon ko andheron ki zarurat hai bahut raushni ho to unhen log bujhane lag jaa.en"

"ik yahi soch bichhaDne nahin deti tujh se ham tujhe baad men phir yaad na aane lag jaa.en"

"mere aane ki khabar sun ke vo dauDa aata us ko pahuncha nahin paigham yahi lagta hai"

"agar bichhaDne ka us se koi malal nahin 'shabana' ashk se phir aankh kyuun bhari hui hai"

mujh ko bhi kar degaa rusvaa vo zamaane bhar mein
khud bhi ho jaaegaa badnaam yahi lagtaa hai

ik yahi soch bichhaDne nahin deti tujh se
ham tujhe baad mein phir yaad na aane lag jaaein

khud charaaghon ko andheron ki zarurat hai bahut
raushni ho to unhein log bujhaane lag jaaein

mere aane ki khabar sun ke vo dauDaa aataa
us ko pahunchaa nahin paighaam yahi lagtaa hai

agar bichhaDne kaa us se koi malaal nahin
'shabaanaa' ashk se phir aankh kyuun bhari hui hai

ye to sochaa hi nahin us ko judaa karte hue
chun liyaa hai gham bhi khushiyon ko rihaa karte hue
