hijaab-e-abr rukh-e-mahtaab se chhalkaa — Amber Waseem Allahabadi

tu muskuraati rahe hai ye aarzu meri
main teri ankhon ko barsaat de nahin saktaa

zamaana guzraa havaa phir se yaad aane lagaa
na jaane kaun mujhe khvaab phir dikhaane lagaa

tiri nigaah bani aaina miri khaatir
main khud ko dekh ke kal raat muskuraane lagaa

mujhe yaqin hai miraa saath de nahin saktaa
jo mere haathon mein ab haath de nahin saktaa

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe

baarish ke baa'd raat saDak aaina si thi
ik paanv paaniyon pe paDaa chaand hil gayaa

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

maaein darvaazon par hain
baarish hone vaali hai

vo gulaabi baadalon mein ek niili jhiil si
hosh qaaem kaise rahte thaa hi kuchh aisaa libaas

shagufta baagh-e-sukhan hai hamin se ai 'saabir'
jahaan mein misl-e-nasim-e-bahaar ham bhi hain
