koi bhulaa huaa chehra nazar aae shaayad — Shakeb Jalali

bad-qismati ko ye bhi gavaaraa na ho sakaa
ham jis pe mar miTe vo hamaaraa na ho sakaa

aaj bhi shaayad koi phulon kaa tohfa bhej de
titliyaan manDlaa rahi hain kaanch ke gul-daan par

socho to silvaTon se bhari hai tamaam ruuh
dekho to ik shikan bhi nahin hai libaas mein

ye ek abr kaa TukDaa kahaan kahaan barse
tamaam dasht hi pyaasaa dikhaai detaa hai

log dete rahe kyaa kyaa na dilaase mujh ko
zakhm gahraa hi sahi zakhm hai bhar jaaegaa

tu ne kahaa na thaa ki main kashti pe bojh huun
aankhon ko ab na Dhaanp mujhe Dubte bhi dekh
