yuun baDhi saaat-ba-saaat lazzat-e-dard-e-firaaq — Moin Ahsan Jazbi

tu aur gham-e-ulfat 'jazbi' mujh ko to yaqin aae na kabhi
jis qalb pe TuuTe hon patthar us qalb mein nashtar TuuT gae

na aae maut khudaayaa tabaah-haali mein
ye naam hogaa gham-e-rozgaar sah na sakaa

muskuraa kar Daal di rukh par naqaab
mil gayaa jo kuchh ki milnaa thaa javaab

jab tujh ko tamannaa meri thi tab mujh ko tamannaa teri thi
ab tujh ko tamannaa ghair ki hai to teri tamannaa kaun kare

jab kabhi kisi gul par ik zaraa nikhaar aayaa
kam-nigaah ye samjhe mausam-e-bahaar aayaa

us ne is tarah mohabbat ki nigaahein Daalin
ham se duniyaa kaa koi raaz chhupaayaa na gayaa

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ik sadma-e-mohabbat ik sadma-e-judaai
ginti ke do hain lekin laakhon ki jaan par hain

kisi ki yaad manaane mein iid guzregi
so shahr-e-dil mein bahut duur tak udaasi hai

aadat ke baa'd dard bhi dene lagaa mazaa
hans hans ke aah aah kiye jaa rahaa huun main
