sunaa hai bole to baaton se phuul jhaDte hain — Ahmad Faraz

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

main ne dekhaa hai bahaaron mein chaman ko jalte
hai koi khvaab ki taabir bataane vaalaa

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

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

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

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

sabza o gul kahaan se aae hain
abr kyaa chiiz hai havaa kyaa hai

gulaabon ke honTon pe lab rakh rahaa huun
use der tak sochnaa chaahtaa huun

gul kiyaa jis ne vo thaa aur magar
shama ne shikva havaaon se kiyaa

ai sanam tu vo kanhayyaa hai balaaein luun agar
baansuli ki tarah naalaan hon saraapaa ungliyaan

sayyaad teraa ghar mujhe jannat sahi magar
jannat se bhi sivaa mujhe raahat chaman mein thi
