gosh-e-mushtaaq-e-sadaa-e-naala-e-dil ab kahaan — Ziauddin Ahmad Shakeb

divaana-e-justuju ho gayaa chaand
baadal se gir ke kho gayaa chaand

isi tarah baatein kiye jaaiye
ye tarz-e-takallum bahut khuub hai

meri tajviz par khafaa kyuun ho
baat kuchh aql ke khilaaf nahin

hamein bhi zarurat thi ik shakhs ki
ye husn-e-tasaadum bahut khuub hai

paDti nahin hai dil pe tire husn ki kiran
kis samt mere chaand darakhshaan hai aaj-kal

mukhtasar baat-chit achchhi hai
lekin itnaa bhi ikhtisaar na kar

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

vo dard huun koi chaara nahin hai jis kaa kahin
vo zakhm huun ki hai dushvaar indimaal miraa

mire aibon ko ginvaayaa to sab ne
kisi ne meri gham-khvaari nahin ki

ishq ki choT kaa kuchh dil pe asar ho to sahi
dard kam ho yaa ziyaada ho magar ho to sahi
