afsos mujh ko chhoD ke jaane se peshtar — Meem Maroof Ashraf

kisi ke yaad karne kaa agar hoti sabab hichki
miraa mahbub ho kar ke pareshaan mar gayaa hotaa

sochtaa huun kyaa miraa bantaa khudaa ke saamne
gar na hotaa yaa-rasulullah sahaaraa aap kaa

bahut aasaan lafzon mein ye us ne kah diyaa ham se
nahin tum se mohabbat jaao jo karnaa hai so kar lo

jab bhi chumaa hai tire honTon ko
jism se un ko judaa jaanaa hai

abhi to aur baDhegi ye tishnagi dil ki
abhi to aur bhi zyaada vo yaad aaeinge

main tum se duur rah kar kis tarah ye tum ko samjhaaun
ki mujh se duur rah kar kis qadar ho tum akeli

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

ijz-o-niyaaz apnaa apni taraf hai saaraa
is musht-e-khaak ko ham masjud jaante hain

na jaane us ne khule aasmaan mein kyaa dekhaa
parinda phir se jahaan-e-qafas mein lauT aayaa

TuuT kar kitnon ko majruh ye kar saktaa hai
sang tu ne abhi dekhaa nahin shishe kaa jigar

ek nazar mein us ne har ik dil ko jiit liyaa
ek nazar mein us ke ho gae jaane kitne log
