alvidaa'i shaam aa pahunchi yahaan — Anjum Farooq

'ishq vaqt-e-digar pe kyon chhoDein
ye tire baa'd ho nahin saktaa

ab tiraa rasta judaa meraa judaa
dekh qismat kaa likhaa hote hue

saahabo main ne taraashe nahin patthar ke sanam
mere haathon se banaa aur banaa ek hi shakhs

jahaan tak ho sake khud ko bachaa badnaam hone se
mohabbat khatm hoti hai mohabbat 'aam hone se

bahut achchhaa bahut achchhaa bahut achchhaa hai tu lekin
tujhe koi kahe achchhaa mujhe achchhaa nahin lagtaa

is liye kashkol mein paDti hai bhiik
ham ne hai laaThi se laTkaayaa huaa

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

ghazal mein jab talak ehsaas ki shiddat na ho shaamil
faqat alfaaz ki kaarigari mahsus hoti hai

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge

shaam ke tiir se zakhmi hai 'khurshid' kaa siina
nuur simaT kar surkh kabutar ban jaataa hai

charaag chaand shafaq shaam phuul jhiil sabaa
churaain sab ne hi kuchh kuchh shabaahatein teri

jo dekhiye to zamaana hai tez-rau kitnaa
tulu-e-subh abhi hai to vaqt-e-shaam abhi
