jo chehre duur se lagte hain aadmi jaise — Ahmad Wasi

muddat ke baa'd aaina kal saamne paDaa
dekhi jo apni shakl to chehra utar gayaa

vo kare baat to har lafz se khushbu aae
aisi boli vahi bole jise urdu aae

thak ke yuun pichhle pahar sau gayaa meraa ehsaas
raat bhar shahr mein aavaara phiraa ho jaise

judaai kyuun dilon ko aur bhi nazdik laati hai
bichhaD kar kyuun ziyaada pyaar kaa ehsaas hotaa hai

log hairat se mujhe dekh rahe hain aise
mere chehre pe koi naam likhaa ho jaise

muddat guzar gai hai ki dil ko sukun nahin
muddat guzar gai hai kisi kaa bhalaa kiye
