kitne achchhe log the kyaa raunaqein thiin un ke saath — Fatima Hasan

raat dariche tak aa kar ruk jaati hai
band aankhon mein us kaa chehra rahtaa hai

sukun-e-dil ke liye ishq to bahaana thaa
vagarna thak ke kahin to Thahar hi jaanaa thaa

ulajh ke rah gae chehre miri nigaahon mein
kuchh itni tezi se badle the un ki baat ke rang

dikhaai detaa hai jo kuchh kahin vo khvaab na ho
jo sun rahi huun vo dhokaa na ho samaaat kaa

bhuul gai huun kis se meraa naata thaa
aur ye naata kaise TuuTaa bhuul gai

main ne maan kaa libaas jab pahnaa
mujh ko titli ne apne rang diye

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

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

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge
