aae na phir nazar kahin jaane kidhar gae — Baqi Siddiqui

is badalte hue zamaane mein
tere qisse bhi kuchh puraane lage

kuchh na paa kar bhi mutmain hain ham
ishq mein haath kyaa khazaane lage

yahi rasta hai ab yahi manzil
ab yahin dil kisi bahaane lage

rang-e-dil rang-e-nazar yaad aayaa
tere jalvon kaa asar yaad aayaa

ek hansti hui badli dekhi
ek jaltaa huaa ghar yaad aayaa

dosti khun-e-jigar chaahti hai
kaam mushkil hai to rasta dekho

haan dikhaa de ai tasavvur phir vo subh o shaam tu
dauD pichhe ki taraf ai gardish-e-ayyaam tu

aankhon mein meri subh-e-qayaamat gai jhamak
siine se us pari ke jo parda ulaT gayaa

shab-e-vaada fasil-e-hijr se aage chamaktaa hai tiraa ism-e-sitaara-ju
ki jaise koi paivand-e-ridaa-e-subh aa jaae kisi qindil ki zad mein

andheri shab kaa ye khvaab-manzar mujhe ujaalon se bhar rahaa hai
to raat itni tavil kar de ki taa-qayaamat sahar na aae

ab aa gai hai sahar apnaa ghar sambhaalne ko
chalun ki jaagaa huaa raat bhar kaa main bhi huun

raat ko aa kar jo tum milte to haan ik baat thi
subh ko surat dikhaane aaftaab aayaa to kyaa
