aankh bhi apni saraab-aalud hai — Amjad Islam Amjad

kamaal-e-husn hai husn-e-kamaal se baahar
azal kaa rang hai jaise misaal se baahar

tiir aayaa thaa jidhar ye mire shahr ke log
kitne saadaa hain ki marham bhi vahin dekhte hain

vo saamne hai phir bhi dikhaai na de sake
mere aur us ke beach ye divaar kaun hai

jis taraf tu hai udhar hongi sabhi ki nazrein
iid ke chaand kaa didaar bahaana hi sahi

tumhi ne kaun si achchhaai ki hai
chalo maanaa ki main achchhaa nahin thaa

be-samar peDon ko chumeinge sabaa ke sabz lab
dekh lenaa ye khizaan be-dast-o-paa rah jaaegi

miri is chashm-e-tar se abr-e-baaraan ko hai kyaa nisbat
ki vo dariyaa kaa paani aur ye khun-e-dil hai barsaati

chaand hai paani mein yaa bhule hue chehre kaa aks
saahil-e-dariyaa pe dekho main bhi hairaani mein huun

mujid jo nuur kaa hai vo meraa charaagh hai
parvaana huun main anjuman-e-kaaenaat kaa

chaand bhi hairaan dariyaa bhi pareshaani mein hai
aks kis kaa hai ki itni raushni paani mein hai

sab ummidein mire aashob-e-tamannaa tak thiin
bastiyaan ho gaiin gharqaab to dariyaa utraa

tum agar chaaho to miTTi se abhi paidaa hon phuul
main agar maangun to dariyaa bhi na de paani mujhe
