aavaazon kaa bojh uThaae sadiyon se — Abrar Azmi

main ne kal toDaa ik aaina to mahsus huaa
is mein poshida koi chiiz thi jauhar jaisi

khushnumaa divaar-o-dar ke khvaab hi dekhaa kiye
jism sahraa zehn viraan aankh giili ho gai

kamre mein dhuaan dard ki pahchaan banaa thaa
kal raat koi phir miraa mehmaan banaa thaa

— Abrar Azmi

parinde fazaaon mein phir kho gae
dhuaan hi dhuaan aashiyaanon mein thaa

tamaam raat vo pahlu ko garm kartaa rahaa
kisi ki yaad kaa nashsha sharaab jaisaa thaa

shaayad tumhaari yaad mire paas aa gai
yaa hai mire hi dil ki sadaa sochnaa paDaa

— Abrar Azmi

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai
