der se aa rahi hai yaad tiri — Sikandar Ali Wajd

ahl-e-himmat ko balaaon pe hansi aati hai
nang-e-hasti hai musibat mein pareshaan honaa

dil ki basti ajiib basti hai
ye ujaDne ke baa'd basti hai

tamiz-e-khvaab-o-haqiqat hai shart-e-bedaari
khayaal-e-azmat-e-maazi ko chhoD haal ko dekh

bahaar aae to khud hi laala o nargis bataa deinge
khizaan ke daur mein dilkash gulistaanon pe kyaa guzri

khudaa shaahid hai mere bhulne vaale ba-juz tere
mujhe takhliq-e-aalam raaegaan maalum hoti hai

jaane vaale kabhi nahin aate
jaane vaalon ki yaad aati hai

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

fikr-e-maaash o ishq-e-butaan yaad-e-raftagaan
in mushkilon se ahd-baraai na ho saki

ab to main aur bhi buraa huun ki
ab ziyaada sudhar gayaa huun main

ik bahaana hai tujhe yaad kiye jaane kaa
kab saliqa hai mujhe varna ghazal gaane kaa

huun vo barbaad ki qismat mein nasheman na qafas
chal diyaa chhoD kar sayyaad tah-e-daam mujhe

ai havaa tu hi use eid-mubaarak kahiyo
aur kahiyo ki koi yaad kiyaa kartaa hai
