mukhtasar baat-chit achchhi hai — Ziauddin Ahmad Shakeb

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

aariz se tire subh ki tohmat na uThegi
zulfon pe tiri shaam kaa ilzaam rahegaa

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