phir saavan rut ki pavan chali tum yaad aae — Nasir Kazmi

kuchh yaadgaar-e-shahr-e-sitamgar hi le chalein
aae hain is gali mein to patthar hi le chalein

vo raat kaa be-navaa musaafir vo teraa shaair vo teraa 'naasir'
tiri gali tak to ham ne dekhaa thaa phir na jaane kidhar gayaa vo

akele ghar se puchhti hai be-kasi
tiraa diyaa jalaane vaale kyaa hue

girafta-dil hain bahut aaj tere divaane
khudaa kare koi tere sivaa na pahchaane

jurm-e-ummid ki sazaa hi de
mere haq mein bhi kuchh sunaa hi de

nae kapDe badal kar jaaun kahaan aur baal banaaun kis ke liye
vo shakhs to shahr hi chhoD gayaa main baahar jaaun kis ke liye

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

koi viraani si viraani hai
dasht ko dekh ke ghar yaad aayaa

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost

un ki yaad mein bahte aansu khushk agar ho jaaeinge
saat samundar apni khaali aaankhon mein bhar laaungaa

aadhi se ziyaada shab-e-gham kaaT chukaa huun
ab bhi agar aa jaao to ye raat baDi hai
