kisi bhi vaqt badal saktaa hai lamha koi — Jamal Ehsani

us ne baarish mein bhi khiDki khol ke dekhaa nahin
bhigne vaalon ko kal kyaa kyaa pareshaani hui

hazaar tarah ke the ranj pichhle mausam mein
par itnaa thaa ki koi saath rone vaalaa thaa

isi ik baat par hai ittifaaq-o-ikhtilaaf us se
use aaina aur mujh ko piyaala achchhaa lagtaa hai

jo dil ke taaq mein tu ne charaagh rakkhaa thaa
na puchh main ne use kis tarah sitaara kiyaa

ham aise be-hunaron mein hai jo saliqa-e-zist
tire dayaar mein pal-bhar qayaam se aayaa

chaaron jaanib rachi hui hai ashkon ki bu-baas
is raste se guzre honge qaafile hijrat vaale

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

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

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

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

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
