fan jo meaar tak nahin pahunchaa — Ajay Sahaab

ek muddat se dhadhaktaa rahaa meraa ye zehn
tab kahin jaa ke farozaan hue lafzon ke charaagh

aise sulag uThaa tiri yaadon se dil miraa
jaise dhadhak uThein kahin jangal chinaar ke

kaash lauTein mire paapaa bhi khilaune le kar
kaash phir se mire haathon mein khazaana aae

haadse jaan to lete hain magar sach ye hai
haadse hi hamein jiinaa bhi sikhaa dete hain

har khudaa jannaton mein hai mahdud
koi sansaar tak nahin pahunchaa

jab bhi milte hain to jiine ki duaa dete hain
jaane kis baat ki vo ham ko sazaa dete hain

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

kaabe ko jaataa kis liye hindostaan se main
kis but mein shahr-e-hind ke shaan-e-khudaa na thi

baat karnaa pyaar ki aasaan se aasaan hai
ishq karnaa karte rahnaa hai kaThin se bhi kaThin

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

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