mujh ko maalum thaa ik roz chalaa jaaegaa! — Hasan Abbasi

vo baad-e-muddat milaa to rone ki aarzu mein
nikal ke aankhon se gir paDe chand khvaab aage

kabhi jo aankhon ke aa gayaa aaftaab aage
tire tasavvur mein ham ne kar li kitaab aage

us ajnabi se haath milaane ke vaaste
mahfil mein sab se haath milaanaa paDaa mujhe

hasin yaadon ke chaand ko alvidaaa kah kar
main apne ghar ke andhere kamron mein lauT aayaa

mohabbat mein kaThin raste bahut aasaan lagte the
pahaaDon par suhulat se chaDhaa karte the ham donon

aaj teri yaad se Takraa ke TukDe ho gayaa
vo jo sadiyon se luDhaktaa ek patthar mujh mein thaa

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

baDe qalaq ki baat hai ki tum ise na paDh sake
hamaari zindagi to ik khuli hui kitaab thi

zindagi tu bhi hamein vaise hi ik roz guzaar
jis tarah ham tujhe barson se guzaare hue hain

apne man mein Duub kar paa jaa suraagh-e-zindagi
tu agar meraa nahin bantaa na ban apnaa to ban

umr bhar kaun nibhaataa hai ta'alluq itnaa
ai miri jaan ke dushman tujhe allaah rakkhe

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai
