iid mein iid hui aish kaa saamaan dekhaa — Shad Azimabadi

khamoshi se musibat aur bhi sangin hoti hai
taDap ai dil taDapne se zaraa taskin hoti hai

ye bazm-e-mai hai yaan kotaah-dasti mein hai mahrumi
jo baDh kar khud uThaa le haath mein miinaa usi kaa hai

ab bhi ik umr pe jiine kaa na andaaz aayaa
zindagi chhoD de pichhaa miraa main baaz aayaa

sun chuke jab haal meraa le ke angDaai kahaa
kis ghazab kaa dard zaalim tere afsaane mein thaa

jaise miri nigaah ne dekhaa na ho kabhi
mahsus ye huaa tujhe har baar dekh kar

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

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge
