vo jab bhi aayaa bahut tez baarishon jaisaa — Kishwar Naheed

mardon ko sab ravaa pa hai aurat ko naaravaa
sharm-o-hayaa kaa shahr mein charchaa bhi hai ajab

hamein dekho hamaare paas baiTho ham se kuchh sikho
hamin ne pyaar maangaa thaa hamin ne daagh paae hain

us ko fursat bhi nahin mujh ko tamannaa bhi nahin
phir khalish kyaa hai ki rah rah ke vafaa DhunDhti hai

dil mein hai mulaaqaat ki khvaahish ki dabi aag
mehndi lage haathon ko chhupaa kar kahaan rakkhun

kuchh din to malaal us kaa haq thaa
bichhDaa to khayaal us kaa haq thaa

kaun jaane ki uDti hui dhuup bhi
kis taraf kaun si manzilon mein gai

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe

havaa chali to koi naqsh-e-motabar na bachaa
koi diyaa koi baadal koi shajar na bachaa

abr mein chaand gar na dekhaa ho
rukh pe zulfon ko Daal kar dekho

kham-e-mehraab-e-abruvaan ke biich
kaam aankhon kaa hai imaamat kaa

sab ko dikhlaataa hai vo chhoTaa banaa kar mujh ko
mujh ko vo mere baraabar nahin hone detaa

main baarishon mein bahut bhigtaa rahaa 'aabid'
sulagti dhuup mein ik chhat bahut zaruri hai
