Ghazal

badan se maavaraa ho kar koi rishta banaa legaa

use mat dekhiye vo apnaa girvida banaa legaa

ise to bas miri aankhon ko tar rakhne ki 'aadat hai

zaraa se zakhm ko ye dil bahut gahraa banaa legaa

· · ·

is se pahle to pur-yaqin bhi na the

par gumaan dil mein jaaguzin bhi na the

dil to maujud thaa vahin pe magar

aur ham jism mein kahin bhi na the

· · ·

sabhi band silsile hain yahi kaam chal rahaa hai

ki havaaon ke havaale se salaam chal rahaa hai

tiri yaad ke parindon se bharaa hai ghar hamaaraa

koi uD rahaa hai koi lab-e-baam chal rahaa hai

· · ·

aaj phir dard hai ehsaas hai tanhaai hai

aur aise mein tiri yaad chali aai hai

aur ab pyaar ko tum koste phirte kyon ho

main na kahtaa thaa mire dost vahaan khaai hai

· · ·

vo khush-nasib hain didaar jin ko haasil hai

main tum se duur huun meri to ye bhi mushkil hai

Thahar gae the thakan oDh kar kisi dar par

hamein khabar hi na thi raasta ki manzil hai

· · ·

tum ko hamaaraa pyaar gavaaraa nahin huaa

to kyaa ye donon kaa hi khasaara nahin huaa

aankhon mein zakhm le ke palaT kar ham aa gae

manzar vahaan koi bhi hamaaraa nahin huaa

· · ·

kahin pe aankh kahin lab pe jaan di ham ne

isi tarah se ganvaa di hai zindagi ham ne

tumhaare baare mein kuchh der to ghalat sochaa

phir apne aap pe talvaar taan li ham ne

· · ·

kin khayaalon mein rah gae ham log

phir savaalon mein rah gae ham log

jo tire haath se mayassar the

un nivaalon mein rah gae ham log

· · ·

aankhein tumhaare saath hain manzar tumhaare saath

dariyaa pahaaD jhiil samundar tumhaare saath

ab kaun jaan-bujh ke daa'vat de maut ko

rahte hain kul jahaan ke lashkar tumhaare saath

· · ·

ham aise log tiraa dar talaash karte hain

phir us ke baa'd muqaddar talaash karte hain

bhaTakte phirte hain duniyaa mein zindagi ki tarah

ba-vaqt-e-shaam magar ghar talaash karte hain

· · ·

kisi ne chaand uThaayaa kisi ne taare liye

falak pe kuchh bhi nahin thaa magar hamaare liye

mire khudaa miraa jangal tire havaale hai

bahut se log gae hain udhar ko aare liye

· · ·

ab hairaton se bachne ki surat kahaan se laae

banda tumhaari diid ki himmat kahaan se laae

hairat hai raat din ki mashaqqat ke baavajud

ham tujh ko yaad karne ki fursat kahaan se laae

· · ·

bharosa kis ne toDaa hai hamaaraa

ki ghaaeb har sitaara hai hamaaraa

pasand aae na aae tum ko lekin

alag duniyaa se rishta hai hamaaraa

· · ·

khaali haathon se lauT kar jaanaa

kitnaa mushkil hai aise ghar jaanaa

achchhaa hotaa hai aadmi ke liye

baa'z auqaat thoDaa Dar jaanaa

· · ·

jahaan se aage bhi hogaa kahin koi manzar

hamein dikhaayaa gayaa hai bas ek hi manzar

phir us ke baa'd hamein kuchh nazar nahin aaya

tumhaare 'aks ne dhundlaa diye sabhi manzar

· · ·

paas aane ki kyaa zarurat thi

muskuraane ki kyaa zarurat thi

ham tumhein yaad bhi to aate hain

ye bataane ki kyaa zarurat thi

· · ·

bahut khushi bhi agar ho khushi nahin hoti

tumhaare baa'd yahaan zindagi nahin hoti

agar ye raah ke patthar hamein bhi raas aate

hamaare chehre pe sanjidgi nahin hoti
