ab is tark-e-ta'alluq par kisi ko kyaa dalaael dein — Tauheed Zeb

apni tasvir chuum li us ne
phuul par phuul khil gayaa jaise

ek hi din milaa mohabbat ko
saal bhar ki thakan utaari gai

daftar-e-husn khole baiThe hain
'aashiqi rozgaar hai un kaa

kyaa huaa husn-e-jaavedaan ko tire
tu to mujh se bichhaD ke khush thi bahut

rumuz-e-vaqt ki pahli class mein bhi miraa
tamaam dhyaan thaa sarkaari naukri ki taraf

dhokaa khaane pe ro paDaa hogaa
ye koi 'ishq mein nayaa hogaa

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

dil-e-haris hi apnaa na ho sakaa qaane
vagarna tere karam mein to kuchh kami na rahi

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh
