chaand kaa daagh miTaaeinge ham — Jazib Quraishi

mujh ko baDe khulus se barbaad kar diyaa
'jaazib' kisi ne ek havas-kaar ke liye

teri khushbu pyaar ke lahje mein bole to sahi
dil ki har dhaDkan ko ik chehra nayaa mil jaaegaa

mire vajud ke khushbu-nigaar sahraa mein
vo mil gae hain to mil kar bichhaD bhi sakte hain

daftar ki thakan oDh ke tum jis se mile ho
us shakhs ke taaza lab-o-rukhsaar to dekho

kuchh mere dhaDakte hue dil ne bhi pukaaraa
kuchh aap ko baazaar mein dhokaa bhi huaa hai

kyuun maang rahe ho kisi baarish ki duaaein
tum apne shikasta dar-o-divaar to dekho

vo chaand hai to aks bhi paani mein aaegaa
kirdaar khud ubhar ke kahaani mein aaegaa

aasmaan jhaank rahaa hai 'khaalid'
chaand kamre mein mire utraa hai

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

bahut hasin raat hai magar tum to so rahe ho
nikal ke kamre se ik nazar chaandni to dekho

sajda-e-ishq pe tanqid na kar ai vaaiz
dekh maathe pe abhi chaand numaayaan hogaa
