dil ko tiri chaahat pe bharosa bhi bahut hai — Ahmad Faraz

jo ghair the vo isi baat par hamaare hue
ki ham se dost bahut be-khabar hamaare hue

TuuTaa to huun magar abhi bikhraa nahin 'faraaz'
mere badan pe jaise shikaston kaa jaal ho

'faraaz' ishq ki duniyaa to khub-surat thi
ye kis ne fitna-e-hijr-o-visaal rakkhaa hai

judaaiyaan to muqaddar hain phir bhi jaan-e-safar
kuchh aur duur zaraa saath chal ke dekhte hain

zindagi teri ataa thi so tire naam ki hai
ham ne jaise bhi basar ki tiraa ehsaan jaanaan

sunaa hai log use aankh bhar ke dekhte hain
so us ke shahr mein kuchh din Thahar ke dekhte hain

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

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

badalte vaqt ne badle mizaaj bhi kaise
tiri adaa bhi gai meraa baankpan bhi gayaa

na ho ehsaas to saaraa jahaan hai be-his-o-murda
gudaaz-e-dil ho to dukhti ragein milti hain patthar mein

barsaat kaa baadal to divaana hai kyaa jaane
kis raah se bachnaa hai kis chhat ko bhigonaa hai
