kaun se shauq kis havas kaa nahin — Jaun Elia

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

aaj bahut din baa'd main apne kamre tak aa niklaa thaa
juun hi darvaaza kholaa hai us ki khushbu aai hai

shishe ke is taraf se main sab ko tak rahaa huun
marne ki bhi kisi ko fursat nahin hai mujh mein

main ab har shakhs se uktaa chukaa huun
faqat kuchh dost hain aur dost bhi kyaa

vo jo na aane vaalaa hai naa us se mujh ko matlab thaa
aane vaalon se kyaa matlab aate hain aate honge

ek hi to havas rahi hai hamein
apni haalat tabaah ki jaae

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

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

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

phir mujhe dida-e-tar yaad aayaa
dil jigar tishna-e-fariyaad aayaa

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
