faqat zamaan o makaan mein zaraa saa farq aayaa — Shahram Sarmadi

ba-naam-e-ishq ik ehsaan saa abhi tak hai
vo saada-lauh hamein chaahtaa abhi tak hai

mire alaava sabhi log ab ye maante hain
ghalat nahin thi miri raae us ke baare mein

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

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

kabhi chhoDi hui manzil bhi yaad aati hai raahi ko
khaTak si hai jo siine mein gham-e-manzil na ban jaae

saamne umr paDi hai shab-e-tanhaai ki
vo mujhe chhoD gayaa shaam se pahle pahle

gham hai aavaara akele mein bhaTak jaataa hai
jis jagah rahiye vahaan milte-milaate rahiye
