khinch laati hai samundar se jazire sar-e-aab — Idris Azad

tire rang-o-bu ko bhi dekhte na khayaal thaa na majaal thi
jo sakat mili tujhe dekhne ki to rang-o-bu se nikal gae

main ne jitne bhi log dekhe hain
sab ke sinon mein rog dekhe hain

itne zaalim na bano kuchh to muravvat sikho
tum pe marte hain to kyaa maar hi Daaloge hamein

main to itnaa bhi samajhne se rahaa hon qaasir
raah takne ke sivaa aankh kaa maqsad kyaa hai

main apne aap se rahtaa huun duur eid ke din
ik ajnabi saa takalluf nae libaas mein hai

tum ne taaron ko rahnumaa jaanaa
ham ne taaron ki rahnumaai ki

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

main ne apni palkon par gham-kade sajaae hain
aarzu ke maatam mein sogvaar hasti hai

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

chal su-e-gor-e-garibaan ai haris-e-maal-o-zar
dekh kitni aarzuein nazr-e-madfan ho gaiin

hijr mein shiddat dikhaate hain sabhi 'aashiq magar
lutf tab hai vasl ho par aarzu baaqi rahe
