anginat safinon mein diip jagmagaate hain — Aqeel Nomani

puchho zaraa ye kaun si duniyaa se aae hain
kuchh log kah rahe hain hamein koi gham nahin

ab sang-baariyon kaa amal sard paD gayaa
ab us taraf bhi ranj mire TuTne kaa hai

be-sabab donon mein har ek ko dilchaspi thi
aur har ek se bezaar the ham bhi tum bhi

hamein bhi vaqt ke tufaan mil kar khaa gae aakhir
har ik kashti ko mil jaataa hai saahil ham bhi kahte the

baDi hi karbnaak thi vo pahli raat hijr ki
dobaara dil mein aisaa dard aaj tak nahin huaa

jis ko chaahaa bas usi kaa raasta takte rahe
pattharon ki justuju mein khud ko patthar kar liyaa

charaagh ki thartharaati lau mein har os qatre mein har kiran mein
tumhaari aankhein kahaan nahin thiin tumhaaraa chehra kahaan nahin thaa

aisi duniyaa mein kab tak guzaaraa karein tum hi kah do ki kaise gavaaraa karein
raat mujh se miri bebasi ne kahaa bebasi ke liye ek taaza ghazal

har ek shaakh pe viraaniyaan musallat hain
badan-darakht bhi goyaa hai aashiyaan-e-shab

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

shor din ko nahin sone detaa
shab ko sannaaTaa jagaa detaa hai

mahak uThi hai fazaa pairahan ki khushbu se
chaman dilon kaa khilaane ko eid aai hai
