aankhein miri phuTein tiri aankhon ke baghair aah — Abdul Rahman Ehsan Dehlvi

namaaz apni agarche kabhi qazaa na hui
adaa kisi ki jo dekhi to phir adaa na hui

gale se lagte hi jitne gile the bhuul gae
vagarna yaad thiin ham ko shikaayatein kyaa kyaa

dil-rubaa tujh saa jo dil lene mein ayyaari kare
phir koi dilli mein kyaa dil ki khabardaari kare

aag is dil-lagi ko lag jaae
dil-lagi aag phir lagaane lagi

ba-vaqt-e-bosa-e-lab kaash ye dil kaamraan hotaa
zabaan us bad-zabaan ki munh mein aur main zabaan hotaa

mai-kade mein ishq ke kuchh sarsari jaanaa nahin
kaasa-e-sar ko yahaan gardish hai paimaane ki tarah

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe
