yahi milne kaa samay bhi hai bichhaDne kaa bhi — Krishn Bihari Noor

sach ghaTe yaa baDhe to sach na rahe
jhuuT ki koi intihaa hi nahin

itne hisson mein baT gayaa huun main
mere hisse mein kuchh bachaa hi nahin

jitne mausam hain sabhi jaise kahin mil jaaein
in dinon kaise bataaun jo fazaa hai mujh mein

mausam hain do hi ishq ke surat koi bhi ho
hain us ke paas aaine hijr-o-visaal ke

ho vaapsi agar to inhein raaston se ho
jin raaston se pyaar tiraa le gayaa mujhe

main jis ke haath mein ik phuul de ke aayaa thaa
usi ke haath kaa patthar miri talaash mein hai

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

ghazal mein jab talak ehsaas ki shiddat na ho shaamil
faqat alfaaz ki kaarigari mahsus hoti hai

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge

gul kiyaa jis ne vo thaa aur magar
shama ne shikva havaaon se kiyaa

mujh mein khud meri adam-maujudgi shaamil rahi
varna is maahaul mein jiinaa baDaa dushvaar thaa

aakhiri parinde ki Dubti hui aavaaz
shaam hone vaali hai ab hamein ijaazat hai
