kis kis ko bataaun ki main buzdil nahin 'raaghib' — Iftikhar Raghib

ik baDi jang laD rahaa huun main
hans ke tujh se bichhaD rahaa huun main

'raaghib' vo meri fikr mein khud ko bhi bhuul jaaein
aisi to koi baat nahin chaahtaa thaa main

ji chaahtaa hai jiinaa jazbaat ke mutaabiq
haalaat kar rahe hain haalaat ke mutaabiq

din mein aane lage hain khvaab mujhe
us ne bhejaa hai ik gulaab mujhe

le jaae jahaan chaahe havaa ham ko uDaa kar
TuuTe hue patton ki hikaayat hi alag hai

inkaar hi kar dijiye iqraar nahin to
uljhan hi mein mar jaaegaa bimaar nahin to

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

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

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

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

dil-e-haris hi apnaa na ho sakaa qaane
vagarna tere karam mein to kuchh kami na rahi
