aaj bhi zakhm hi khilte hain sar-e-shaakh-e-nihaal — Yaqoob Yawar

agar vo aaj raat hadd-e-iltifaat toD de
kabhi phir us se pyaar kaa khayaal bhi na aaegaa

shahr-e-sukhan ajiib ho gayaa hai
naaqid yahaan adiib ho gayaa hai

pahaaD jaisi azmaton kaa daakhila thaa shahr mein
ki log aagahi kaa ishtihaar le ke chal diye

lahu mahkaa to saaraa shahr paagal ho gayaa hai
main kis saf se uThun kis ke liye khanjar nikaalun

tu laa-makaan mein rahe aur main makaan mein asiir
ye kyaa ki mujh pe itaaat tiri haraam hui

miri tamannaa hai ab ke tum phir milo to ji bhar ke muskuraaein
ki dekhnaa hai ye raushni kaa safar bahut der baa'd jaa kar

jab dil hi nahin hai pahlu mein phir ishq kaa saudaa kaun kare
ab un se mohabbat kaun kare ab un ki tamannaa kaun kare

pyaasi bahut thiin hasratein lo aaj mar gaiin
baarish kaa intizaar thaa vo bhi nahin rahaa

miri apni aur us ki aarzu mein farq ye thaa
mujhe bas vo use saaraa zamaana chaahiye thaa

hamin pe khatm hain jaur-o-sitam zamaane ke
hamaare baad use kis ki aarzu hogi

dil mein bhari hai khaak mein milne ki aarzu
khaakistari huaa hai hamaari qabaa kaa rang
