jab se haasil huaa hai vo mujh ko — Siraj Faisal Khan

main kahkashaaon mein khushiyaan talaashne niklaa
mire sitaare meraa chaand sab udaas rahe

zamin mere sajde se tharraa gai
mujhe aasmaan se pukaaraa gayaa

bichhaD jaaeinge ham donon zamin par
ye us ne aasmaan par likh diyaa hai

vasl mein suukh gai hai miri sochon ki zamin
hijr aae to miri soch ko shaadaab kare

likkhaa hai taarikh ke safhe safhe par ye
shaahon ko bhi daas banaayaa jaa saktaa hai

aaj meri ik ghazal ne us ke honTon ko chhuaa
aaj pahli baar apni shaairi achchhi lagi

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

main ne dekhaa hai bahaaron mein chaman ko jalte
hai koi khvaab ki taabir bataane vaalaa

andheri shab kaa ye khvaab-manzar mujhe ujaalon se bhar rahaa hai
to raat itni tavil kar de ki taa-qayaamat sahar na aae

hasin khvaab ko sachchaa samajh rahaa hai koi
faqat gumaan ko duniyaa samajh rahaa hai koi

balaa-e-jaan thi jo bazm-e-tamaashaa chhoD di main ne
khushaa ai zindagi khvaabon ki duniyaa chhoD di main ne

afsos umr kaT gai ranj-o-malaal mein
dekhaa na khvaab mein bhi jo kuchh thaa khayaal mein
