yaad aao mujhe lillaah na tum yaad karo — Akhtar Shirani

kis ko fursat thi zamaane ke sitam sahne ki
gar na us shokh ki aankhon kaa ishaaraa hotaa

ab to miliye bas laDaai ho chuki
ab to chaliye pyaar ki baatein karein

zindagi kitni masarrat se guzarti yaa rab
aish ki tarah agar gham bhi gavaaraa hotaa

muddatein ho gaiin bichhDe hue tum se lekin
aaj tak dil se mire yaad tumhaari na gai

un ras bhari aankhon mein hayaa khel rahi hai
do zahr ke pyaalon mein qazaa khel rahi hai

jo bhi buraa bhalaa hai allaah jaantaa hai
bande ke dil mein kyaa hai allaah jaantaa hai

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

sab ko ham bhuul gae josh-e-junun mein lekin
ik tiri yaad thi aisi jo bhulaai na gai

dhuul uDti hai to yaad aataa hai kuchh
miltaa-jultaa thaa libaada meraa

ye sach hai ki auron hi ko tum yaad karoge
mere dil-e-naashaad ko kab shaad karoge

ham ko to yaad nahin ham pe jo guzri tujh bin
tere aage kahe jis ko ye kahaani aae

vaqt-e-rukhsat alvidaaa kaa lafz kahne ke liye
vo tire sukhe labon kaa thartharaanaa yaad hai
