itni saari yaadon ke hote bhi jab dil mein — Afzal Khan

ye kah diyaa hai mire aansuon ne tang aa kar
hamein ba-vaqt-e-zarurat nikaaliye saahab

ye nukta ik qissa-go ne mujh ko samjhaayaa
har kirdaar ke andar ek kahaani hoti hai

daalaan mein sabza hai na taalaab mein paani
kyuun koi parinda miri divaar pe utre

zaraa ye dusraa misraa durust farmaaein
mire makaan pe likkhaa hai ghar baraae-farokht

bhaav taao mein kami beshi nahin ho sakti
haan magar tujh se kharidaar ko naa kaise ho

isi liye hamein ehsaas-e-jurm hai shaayad
abhi hamaari mohabbat nai nai hai naa

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

koi viraani si viraani hai
dasht ko dekh ke ghar yaad aayaa

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost

tum se chhuT kar bhi tumhein bhulnaa aasaan na thaa
tum ko hi yaad kiyaa tum ko bhulaane ke liye

phir mujhe dida-e-tar yaad aayaa
dil jigar tishna-e-fariyaad aayaa

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi
