parinde dekh kar us shakhs ko par phaDphaDaate hain — Ali Raza Aseer

Daraavnaa hai bahut hai baDaa ghanaa jangal
nikal na paaoge is se hai ik anaa jangal

saanson ko bu-e-zist se kafnaa diyaa gayaa
khaak-e-badan mein ruuh ko dafnaa diyaa gayaa

ik manzil-e-safar bhi to ab tak nahin mili
main shin-e-shaaeri pe nahin huun alif pe huun

Tahal rahaa hai ik aansu labon ke paas miraa
bigaaD kuchh nahin sakti hai ab ye pyaas miraa

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

dil-e-haris hi apnaa na ho sakaa qaane
vagarna tere karam mein to kuchh kami na rahi

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai
