sab karishme taalluqaat ke hain — Saeed Ahmad

ham bhi usi ke saath gae hosh se 'said'
lamha jo qaid-e-vaqt se baahar chalaa gayaa

jo tire khitta-e-be-aab ki khvaahish na banaa
kulbulaataa hai vo dariyaa kisi kohsaar mein gum

us din se paaniyon ki tarah bah rahe hain ham
jis din se pattharon kaa iraada samajh liyaa

kuchh log ibtidaa-e-rifaaqat se qabl hi
aainda ke har ek guzishta tak aa gae

jal thal kaa khvaab thaa ki kinaare Dubo gayaa
tanhaa kanval bhi jhiil se baahar nikal paDaa

khushk patton mein kisi yaad kaa shoala hai 'said'
main bujhaataa huun magar aag bhaDak jaati hai

na tum hosh mein ho na ham hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein vahin baat hogi

kisi ke zakhm par chaahat se paTTi kaun baandhegaa
agar bahnein nahin hongi to raakhi kaun baandhegaa

sau fasaad ek ishq mein uTThe
boyaa ik tukhm uge hazaar darakht

na gul khile hain na un se mile na mai pi hai
ajiib rang mein ab ke bahaar guzri hai

roza-daaraan-e-judaai kuun kham-e-abru-e-yaar
maah-e-id-e-ramazaan thaa mujhe maalum na thaa

aae kuchh abr kuchh sharaab aae
is ke baa'd aae jo azaab aae
