dil to saada hai teri har baat ko sachchaa maantaa hai — Ajmal Siddiqui

har ek subh vazu karti hain miri aankhein
ki shaayad aaj to aa jaae vo habib nazar

bol paDtaa to miri baat miri hi rahti
khaamushi ne hain diye sab ko fasaane kyaa kyaa

kyaa kyaa na paDhaa is maktab mein, kitne hi hunar sikhe hain yahaan
izhaar kabhi aankhon se kiyaa kabhi had se sivaa bebaak huaa

jis din se gayaa vo jaan-e-ghazal har misre ki surat bigDi
har lafz pareshaan dikhtaa hai, is darja varaq namnaak huaa

kabhi khauf thaa tire hijr kaa kabhi aarzu ke zavaal kaa
rahaa hijr-o-vasl ke darmiyaan tujhe kho sakaa na main paa sakaa

vo meraa ho ki na ho kyaa gharaz mujhe is se
havas charaagh ki tum ko mujhe hai bhaataa nuur

jinhein ye fikr nahin sar rahe rahe na rahe
vo sach hi kahte hain jab bolne pe aate hain

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

us ko sochun to dhyaan mein mere
khushbu aati hai pahli baarish ki

maango samundaron se na saahil ki bhiik tum
haan fikr o fan ke vaaste gahraai maang lo

tere bin hayaat ki soch bhi gunaah thi
ham qarib-e-jaan tiraa hisaar dekhte rahe

har subh nikalte hain yahi soch ke ghar se
bikhri hui duniyaa ko sameTeinge kisi din
