dariyaa ko kinaare se kyaa dekhte rahte ho — Inam Nadeem

bujh jaaegaa ik roz tiri yaad kaa shola
lekin mire siine mein dhuaan yuun hi rahegaa

ye mohabbat bhi ek neki hai
is ko dariyaa mein Daal aate hain

apni hi ravaani mein bahtaa nazar aataa hai
ye shahr bulandi se dariyaa nazar aataa hai

jiye garche isi duniyaa mein ham bhi
magar duniyaa hamaari aur hi thi

pukaarte the mujhe aasmaan magar main ne
qayaam karne ko ye khaak-daan pasand kiyaa

ham Thahre raheinge kisi taabir ko thaame
aankhon mein koi khvaab ravaan yuun hi rahegaa

chaand bhi hairaan dariyaa bhi pareshaani mein hai
aks kis kaa hai ki itni raushni paani mein hai

mujid jo nuur kaa hai vo meraa charaagh hai
parvaana huun main anjuman-e-kaaenaat kaa

miri is chashm-e-tar se abr-e-baaraan ko hai kyaa nisbat
ki vo dariyaa kaa paani aur ye khun-e-dil hai barsaati

sab ummidein mire aashob-e-tamannaa tak thiin
bastiyaan ho gaiin gharqaab to dariyaa utraa

chaand hai paani mein yaa bhule hue chehre kaa aks
saahil-e-dariyaa pe dekho main bhi hairaani mein huun

ajiib khvaab thaa taabir kyaa hui us ki
ki ek dariyaa havaaon ke rukh pe bahtaa thaa
