baras rahi thi baarish baahar — Nazeer Qaisar

bachche ne titli pakaD kar chhoD di
aaj mujh ko bhi khudaa achchhaa lagaa

chalte chalte main us ko ghar le aayaa
vo bhi apnaa haath chhuDaanaa bhuul gayaa

jab vo saath hotaa hai
ham akele hote hain

khvaab kyaa thaa jo mire sar mein rahaa
raat bhar ik shor saa ghar mein rahaa

bikhar ke jaataa kahaan tak ki main to khushbu thaa
havaa chali thi mujhe apne ham-rikaab liye

yuun tujhe dekh ke chaunk uThti hain soi yaadein
jaise sannaaTe mein aavaaz lagaa de koi

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

baarish ke baa'd raat saDak aaina si thi
ik paanv paaniyon pe paDaa chaand hil gayaa

baadalon ne aaj barsaayaa lahu
amn kaa har faakhta rone lagaa

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

maaein darvaazon par hain
baarish hone vaali hai

vo gulaabi baadalon mein ek niili jhiil si
hosh qaaem kaise rahte thaa hi kuchh aisaa libaas
