us ne khat mein bheje hain — Nazeer Qaisar

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

rang laai hai hasrat-e-taamir
gir rahi hain imaaratein kyaa kyaa

patthar hotaa jaataa huun
hansne do yaa rone do

nayaa libaas pahan kar bhi
duniyaa vahi puraani hai

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

aisi duniyaa mein kab tak guzaaraa karein tum hi kah do ki kaise gavaaraa karein
raat mujh se miri bebasi ne kahaa bebasi ke liye ek taaza ghazal

shor din ko nahin sone detaa
shab ko sannaaTaa jagaa detaa hai

har ek shaakh pe viraaniyaan musallat hain
badan-darakht bhi goyaa hai aashiyaan-e-shab

charaagh ki thartharaati lau mein har os qatre mein har kiran mein
tumhaari aankhein kahaan nahin thiin tumhaaraa chehra kahaan nahin thaa

ye raat yunhi basar ho gai to kyaa hogaa
tire baghair sahar ho gai to kyaa hogaa

tum aake lauT gae phir bhi ho yahin maujud
tumhaare jism ki khushbu mire makaan mein hai
