nisbatein thiin ret se kuchh is qadar — 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

mujh ko maalum thaa ik roz chalaa jaaegaa!
vo miri umr ko yaadon ke havaale kar ke

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

phir mujhe dida-e-tar yaad aayaa
dil jigar tishna-e-fariyaad aayaa

teraa ghar aur meraa jangal bhigtaa hai saath saath
aisi barsaatein ki baadal bhigtaa hai saath saath
