ek hi rang mein jiine kaa hunar sikhaa hai — Wafa Naqvi

ab un se paai hai taklif to shikaayat kyaa
hamin ne sar pe chaDhaayaa thaa kuchh kaminon ko

bas ek pal ki tamannaa-e-vasl ki khaatir
tamaam 'umr lagaa di gai sanvarne mein

is bhiiD mein duniyaa ki ham tum na bichhaD jaaein
main tum pe nazar rakkhun tum mujh pe nazar rakhnaa

ab ye khvaahish hai karein log hamaari ghibat
phail jaaein tiri galiyon mein khabar ki surat

zamin uThegi nahin aasmaan jhukegaa nahin
anaa-parast hain donon ke khaandaan bahut

aaya na phir bhi chaand utar kar zamin par
karte rahe darakht ishaare tamaam raat

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

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

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