yaad kar ke aur bhi taklif hoti thi 'adim' — Adeem Hashmi

faasle aise bhi honge ye kabhi sochaa na thaa
saamne baiThaa thaa mere aur vo meraa na thaa

ik khilaunaa TuuT jaaegaa nayaa mil jaaegaa
main nahin to koi tujh ko dusraa mil jaaegaa

kaTi hui hai zamin koh se samundar tak
milaa hai ghaao ye dariyaa ko raasta de kar

kyuun parakhte ho savaalon se javaabon ko 'adim'
honT achchhe hon to samjho ki savaal achchhaa hai

huaa hai jo sadaa us ko nasibon kaa likhaa samjhaa
'adim' apne kiye par mujh ko pachhtaanaa nahin aataa

mire hamraah garche duur tak logon ki raunaq hai
magar jaise koi kam hai kabhi milne chale aao

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

sab ko ham bhuul gae josh-e-junun mein lekin
ik tiri yaad thi aisi jo bhulaai na gai

dil ko dukhaati hai phir bhi kyuun achchhi lagti hai
yaadon ki ye shaam suhaani dil mein qaid hui

jalte dil ko raam kiyaa to yaad aayaa
ulTi cigarette raakh hui be-dhyaani mein

qisse se tire meri kahaani se ziyaada
paani mein hai kyaa aur bhi paani se ziyaada

markaz-e-jaan to vahi tu hai magar tere sivaa
log hain aur bhi is yaad puraani mein kahin
