subh ki chaae se phir aaiin yaad — Amit Goswami

mujhe na Dar hai qayaamat kaa ab na khauf-e-ajal
main dard-e-tark-e-mulaaqaat sah ke aaya huun

ho duur pa yuun mujh mein samaai ho ki jaise
ashk aankhon se niklein bhi to nam rahti hain aankhein

tujh se jab guftugu nahin hoti
khud se teri hi baat kartaa huun

main ne chaahaa hai jise yuun to mukammal hai magar
ik kami hai ki use urdu nahin aati hai

chaar-su phailaa hai ab to ek bas furqat kaa rang
ab talak yak-rang tasvir-e-jahaan aisi na thi

hai tirgi se jang muqaabil aur apne saath
jugnu ki saf hai jashn-e-charaaghaan nahin to kyaa

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

aataa rahaa huun yaad main us ko tamaam umr
is zaaviye se ishq mein naakaam kab huaa

usi ki tarah mujhe saaraa zamaanaa chaahe
vo miraa hone se zyaada mujhe paanaa chaahe

ham ko yaaron ne yaad bhi na rakhaa
'jaun' yaaron ke yaar the ham to

main agar TuuTaa to saaraa shahr bikhregaa 'nabil'
aisaa patthar huun fasil-e-shahr ki buniyaad kaa
