na ji bhar ke dekhaa na kuchh baat ki — Bashir Badr

na tum hosh mein ho na ham hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein vahin baat hogi

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

bhuul shaayad bahut baDi kar li
dil ne duniyaa se dosti kar li

khudaa aise ehsaas kaa naam hai
rahe saamne aur dikhaai na de

hasin to aur hain lekin koi kahaan tujh saa
jo dil jalaae bahut phir bhi dilrubaa hi lage

ik shaam ke saae tale baiThe rahe vo der tak
aankhon se ki baatein bahut munh se kahaa kuchh bhi nahin

miri tamannaa hai ab ke tum phir milo to ji bhar ke muskuraaein
ki dekhnaa hai ye raushni kaa safar bahut der baa'd jaa kar

us shaan-e-aajizi ke fidaa jis ne 'aarzu'
har naaz har ghurur ke qaabil banaa diyaa

ab bhi barsaat ki raaton mein badan TuTtaa hai
jaag uThti hain ajab khvaahishein angDaai ki

bas ek pal ki tamannaa-e-vasl ki khaatir
tamaam 'umr lagaa di gai sanvarne mein

sab ummidein mire aashob-e-tamannaa tak thiin
bastiyaan ho gaiin gharqaab to dariyaa utraa

vo maah jalva dikhaa kar hamein huaa ru-posh
ye aarzu hai ki nikle kahin dobaaraa chaand
