is dasht pe ehsaan na kar ai abr-e-ravaan aur — Himayat Ali Shayar

tujh se vafaa na ki to kisi se vafaa na ki
kis tarah intiqaam liyaa apne aap se

taariki mein lipTi hui pur-haul khamoshi
is aalam mein kyaa nahin mumkin jaagte rahnaa

apne kisi amal pe nadaamat nahin mujhe
thaa nek-dil bahut jo gunahgaar mujh mein thaa

is jahaan mein to apnaa saaya bhi
raushni ho to saath chaltaa hai

main kuchh na kahun aur ye chaahun ki miri baat
khushbu ki tarah uD ke tire dil mein utar jaae

har taraf ik muhib sannaaTaa
dil dhaDaktaa to hai magar khaamosh

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe

baarish ke baa'd raat saDak aaina si thi
ik paanv paaniyon pe paDaa chaand hil gayaa

baadalon ne aaj barsaayaa lahu
amn kaa har faakhta rone lagaa

vo gulaabi baadalon mein ek niili jhiil si
hosh qaaem kaise rahte thaa hi kuchh aisaa libaas

'saabir' teraa kalaam sunein kyuun na ahl-e-fan
bandish ajab hai aur ajab bol chaal hai

fariyaad ai tasavvur-e-abru-e-dil-fareb
qible ki samt bhuul gayaa huun namaaz mein
