shab ki aaghosh mein mahtaab utaaraa us ne — Azm Shakri

main ne ik shahr hamesha ke liye chhoD diyaa
lekin us shahr ko aaankhon mein basaa laayaa huun

aaj ki raat divaali hai diye raushan hain
aaj ki raat ye lagtaa hai main so saktaa huun

zakhm jo tum ne diyaa vo is liye rakkhaa haraa
zindagi mein kyaa bachegaa zakhm bhar jaane ke baad

vaqt-e-rukhsat aab-dida aap kyuun hain
jism se to jaan hamaari jaa rahi hai

yuun baar baar mujh ko sadaaein na dijiye
ab vo nahin rahaa huun koi dusraa huun main

aansuon se likh rahe hain bebasi ki daastaan
lag rahaa hai dard ki tasvir ban jaaeinge ham

jhaankte raat ke garebaan se
ham ne sau aaftaab dekhe hain

raushni ho rahi hai kuchh mahsus
kyaa shab aakhir tamaam ko pahunchi

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

shab ko aa kar vo phir gayaa haihaat
kyaa isi raat ham ko sonaa thaa

ji DhunDtaa hai phir vahi fursat ki raat din
baiThe rahein tasavvur-e-jaanaan kiye hue

kab tak paDe rahoge havaaon ke haath mein
kab tak chalegaa khokhle shabdon kaa kaarobaar
