khamoshi se musibat aur bhi sangin hoti hai — Shad Azimabadi

jab kisi ne haal puchaa ro diyaa
chashm-e-tar tu ne to mujh ko kho diyaa

iid mein iid hui aish kaa saamaan dekhaa
dekh kar chaand jo munh aap kaa ai jaan dekhaa

naazuk thaa bahut kuchh dil meraa ai 'shaad' tahammul ho na sakaa
ik Thes lagi thi yuun hi si kiyaa jald ye shisha TuuT gayaa

talab karein bhi to kyaa shai talab karein ai 'shaad'
hamein to aap nahin apnaa muddaaa maalum

dekhaa kiye vo mast nigaahon se baar baar
jab tak sharaab aai kai daur ho gae

izhaar-e-muddaaa kaa iraada thaa aaj kuchh
tevar tumhaare dekh ke khaamosh ho gayaa

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai

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

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

duur tak chhaae the baadal aur kahin saaya na thaa
is tarah barsaat kaa mausam kabhi aayaa na thaa
