jashn-e-bahaar-e-nau hai nasheman ki khair ho — Ameer Qazalbash

sukut-e-shab mein dar-e-dil pe ek dastak thi
bikhar gai tiri yaadon ki kahkashaan mujh se

honaa paDaa hai khugar-e-gham bhi khushi ki khair
vo mujh pe mehrbaan hain magar be-rukhi ke saath

apne hamraah khud chalaa karnaa
kaun aaegaa mat rukaa karnaa

muztarib hain maujein kyuun uTh rahe hain tufaan kyuun
kyaa kisi safine ko aarzu-e-saahil hai

giraa diyaa hai to saahil pe intizaar na kar
agar vo Duub gayaa hai to duur niklegaa

main ne kyuun tark-e-taalluq ki jasaarat ki hai
tum agar ghaur karoge to pashimaan hoge

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

gul kiyaa jis ne vo thaa aur magar
shama ne shikva havaaon se kiyaa

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

kaanTe se bhi nichoD li ghairon ne bu-e-gul
yaaron ne bu-e-gul se bhi kaanTaa banaa diyaa

zabaan-bandi ke mausam mein gali-kuchon ki mat puchho
parindon ke chahakne se shajar aabaad hote hain
