ek dariche se do aankhein roz sadaaein deti hain — Khalid Moin

main ne tujh ko manzil jaanaa
tu mujh ko rasta samjhaa thaa

mohabbat ki to koi had, koi sarhad nahin hoti
hamaare darmiyaan ye faasle, kaise nikal aae

lakirein khinchte rahne se ban gai tasvir
koi bhi kaam ho, be-kaar thoDi hotaa hai

haath chhuDaa kar jaane vaale
main tujh ko apnaa samjhaa thaa

ajab pur-lutf manzar dekhtaa rahtaa huun baarish mein
badan jaltaa hai aur main bhigtaa rahtaa huun baarish mein

is shahr-e-fusun-gar ke azaab aur, savaab aur
hijr aur tarah kaa hai, visaal aur tarah kaa

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

tu kahaan rahti hai puchhaa thaa kisi ne ek din
main ghamon ke saath rahti huun khushi kahne lagi

kiyaa dard-o-gham ne mujhe naa-umid
ki majnun ko ye hi thiin bimaariyaan

vo dard huun koi chaara nahin hai jis kaa kahin
vo zakhm huun ki hai dushvaar indimaal miraa
