jaise baarish se dhule sehn-e-gulistaan 'amjad' — 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

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

sabza o gul kahaan se aae hain
abr kyaa chiiz hai havaa kyaa hai

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

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

sach ishq mein hain aashiq o maashuq baraabar
jo mushkil-e-majnun hai so hai mushkil-e-lailaa

khudaa ke haath hai biknaa na biknaa mai kaa ai saaqi
baraabar masjid-e-jaame ke ham ne ab dukaan rakh di
