eid kaa chaand jo dekhaa to tamannaa lipTi — Rahmat Qarni

miri tamannaa hai ab ke tum phir milo to ji bhar ke muskuraaein
ki dekhnaa hai ye raushni kaa safar bahut der baa'd jaa kar

siyaah raat ke pahlu mein jism ke andar
kisi gunaah ki khvaahish ko paalte rahnaa

zindagi bhar mujhe is baat ki hasrat hi rahi
din guzaarun to koi raat suhaani aae

bahut aziiz thi ye zindagi magar ham log
kabhi kabhi to kisi aarzu mein mar bhi gae

khvaahish hai ki khud ko bhi kabhi duur se dekhun
manzar kaa nazaara karun manzar se nikal kar

khvaab aur tamannaa kaa kyaa hisaab rakhnaa hai
khvaahishein hain sadiyon ki umr to zaraa si hai
