kyuun javaani ki mujhe yaad aai — Asrarul Haq Majaz

tum ne to hukm-e-tark-e-tamannaa sunaa diyaa
kis dil se aah tark-e-tamannaa kare koi

taskin-e-dil-e-mahzun na hui vo sai-e-karam farmaa bhi gae
is sai-e-karam ko kyaa kahiye bahlaa bhi gae taDpaa bhi gae

Dubo di thi jahaan tufaan ne kashti
vahaan sab the khudaa kyaa naa-khudaa kyaa

yaa to kisi ko jurat-e-didaar hi na ho
yaa phir miri nigaah se dekhaa kare koi

ham arz-e-vafaa bhi kar na sake kuchh kah na sake kuchh sun na sake
yaan ham ne zabaan hi kholi thi vaan aankh jhuki sharmaa bhi gae

tumhin to ho jise kahti hai naakhudaa duniyaa
bachaa sako to bachaa lo ki Dubtaa huun main

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

koi viraani si viraani hai
dasht ko dekh ke ghar yaad aayaa

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost

aadhi se ziyaada shab-e-gham kaaT chukaa huun
ab bhi agar aa jaao to ye raat baDi hai

phaDkun to sar phaTe hai na phaDkun to ji ghaTe
tang is qadar diyaa mujhe sayyaad ne qafas
