ajiib shor machaane lage hain sannaaTe — Asim Wasti

sikhaa na duaaon mein qanaaat kaa saliqa
vo maang rahaa huun jo muqaddar mein nahin hai

log kahte hain ki vo shakhs hai khushbu jaisaa
saath shaayad use le aae havaa dekhte hain

nahin vo sham-e-mohabbat rahi to phir 'aasim'
ye kis duaa se mire ghar mein raushni si hai

tu mire paas jab nahin hotaa
tujh se kartaa huun kis qadar baatein

miri zabaan ke mausam badalte rahte hain
main aadmi huun miraa e'tibaar mat karnaa

kahin kahin to zamin aasmaan se unchi hai
ye raaz mujh pe khulaa siDhiyaan utarte hue

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

dasht ki naa-tamaam raahon par
koi saathi hai to shajar tanhaa

udaas aankhon se aansu nahin nikalte hain
ye motiyon ki tarah sipiyon mein palte hain
