ujaaD ghar mein ye khushbu kahaan se aai hai — Ahmad Faraz

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

umr bhar kaun nibhaataa hai ta'alluq itnaa
ai miri jaan ke dushman tujhe allaah rakkhe

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

zindagi phaili hui thi shaam-e-hijraan ki tarah
kis ko itnaa hausla thaa kaun ji kar dekhtaa

kisi ko ghar se nikalte hi mil gai manzil
koi hamaari tarah umr bhar safar mein rahaa

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

jhaankte raat ke garebaan se
ham ne sau aaftaab dekhe hain

shor din ko nahin sone detaa
shab ko sannaaTaa jagaa detaa hai

raushni ho rahi hai kuchh mahsus
kyaa shab aakhir tamaam ko pahunchi

us ko aanaa thaa ki vo mujh ko bulaataa thaa kahin
raat bhar baarish thi us kaa raat bhar paighaam thaa

kab tak paDe rahoge havaaon ke haath mein
kab tak chalegaa khokhle shabdon kaa kaarobaar

kal yahi bachche samundar ko muqaabil paaeinge
aaj tairaate hain jo kaaghaz ki nannhi kashtiyaan
