vo bhi milne nai poshaak badal kar aayaa — Jamal Ehsani

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

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

kisi bhi vaqt badal saktaa hai lamha koi
is qadar khush bhi na ho meri pareshaani par

vo log mere bahut pyaar karne vaale the
guzar gae hain jo mausam guzarne vaale the

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

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

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

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

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

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

teraa ghar aur meraa jangal bhigtaa hai saath saath
aisi barsaatein ki baadal bhigtaa hai saath saath

dil miraa zulf seti chhuT phansaa abru mein
kufr kuun tark kiyaa maail-e-mehraab huaa
