jo baa-khabar the vo dete rahe fareb mujhe — Akhtar Muslimi

dehaat ke basne vaale to ikhlaas ke paikar hote hain
ai kaash nai tahzib ki rau shahron se na aati gaanv mein

mire dil pe haath rakh kar mujhe dene vaale taskin
kahin dil ki dhaDkanon se tujhe choT aa na jaae

ek hi anjaam hai ai dost husn o ishq kaa
shama bhi bujhti hai parvaanon ke jal jaane ke baad

fareb-khurda hai itnaa ki mere dil ko abhi
tum aa chuke ho magar intizaar baaqi hai

mere kirdaar mein muzmar hai tumhaaraa kirdaar
dekh kar kyuun miri tasvir khafaa ho tum log

di us ne mujh ko jurm-e-mohabbat ki vo sazaa
kuchh be-qusur log sazaa maangne lage

mere baa'd vafaa kaa dhokaa aur kisi se mat karnaa
gaali degi duniyaa tujh ko sar meraa jhuk jaaegaa

kuchh to majburiyaan rahi hongi
yuun koi bevafaa nahin hotaa

is qadar musalsal thiin shiddatein judaai ki
aaj pahli baar us se main ne bevafaai ki

yaar main itnaa bhukaa huun
dhokaa bhi khaa letaa huun

ek parda saa hai fareb-e-nazar
ye bhi uTThe to dekhnaa kyaa hai

rang kyaa ajab diyaa meri bevafaai ko
us ne yuun kiyaa ki mere khat jalaae uud mein
