palkon pe le ke bojh kahaan tak phiraa karun — Javed Naseemi

chaand kaa qurb lagaa kaisaa chalo puchh aaein
aasmaanon ke safar se vo palaT aayaa hai

dar-ba-dar ho gae taabir ki dhun mein kitne
in hasin khvaabon se baDh kar koi saffaak nahin

ek chehra hai jo aankhon mein basaa rahtaa hai
ik tasavvur hai jo tanhaa nahin hone detaa

jise na aane ki qasmein main de ke aayaa huun
usi ke qadmon ki aahaT kaa intizaar bhi hai

muddat hui ki zinda huun dekhe baghair use
vo shakhs mere dil se utar to nahin gayaa

zinda rahne ke liye asbaab de
meri aankhon ko tu apne khvaab de

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

hamaaraa ishq ravaan hai rukaavaTon mein 'zafar'
ye khvaab hai kisi divaar se nahin ruktaa

khvaab Thahre the to aankhein bhigne se bach gaiin
varna chehre par to gham ki baarishon kaa aks hai

ik yaqin-parvar gumaan aur ik hayaat-aamez khvaab
jaise koi aaegaa aur uljhanein le jaaegaa

ye san kar meri nindein uD gai hain
koi meraa bhi sapnaa dekhtaa hai

andheri shab kaa ye khvaab-manzar mujhe ujaalon se bhar rahaa hai
to raat itni tavil kar de ki taa-qayaamat sahar na aae
