ye lamha lamha takalluf ke TuTte rishte — Zubair Rizvi

gulaabon ke honTon pe lab rakh rahaa huun
use der tak sochnaa chaahtaa huun

auraton ki aankhon par kaale kaale chashme the sab ki sab barahana thiin
zaahidon ne jab dekhaa saahilon kaa ye manzar likh diyaa gunaahon mein

sukhan ke kuchh to guhar main bhi nazr kartaa chalun
ajab nahin ki karein yaad maah o saal mujhe

zindagi jin ki rifaaqat pe bahut naazaan thi
un se bichhDi to koi aankh mein aansu bhi nahin

jalaa hai dil yaa koi ghar ye dekhnaa logo
havaaein phirti hain chaaron taraf dhuaan le kar

surkhiyaan akhbaar ki galiyon mein ghul karti rahin
log apne band kamron mein paDe sote rahe

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

apni anaa ki aaj bhi taskin ham ne ki
ji bhar ke us ke husn ki tauhin ham ne ki

vo kuchh muskuraanaa vo kuchh jheinp jaanaa
javaani adaaein sikhaati hain kyaa kyaa

niyaaz-e-be-khudi behtar namaaz-e-khud-numaai siin
na kar ham pukhta-maghzon siin khayaal-e-khaam ai vaaiz

jo yahaan khud hi lagaa rakkhi hai chaaron jaanib
ek din ham ne isi aag mein jal jaanaa hai

divaane dil kuun mere shahr sein hargiz nahin banti
agar jangal kaa jaanaa ho to us ki baat sab ban jaa
