Akhtar Ul Iman
aao ki jashn-e-marg-e-mohabbat manaen ham!
aati nahin kahin se dil-e-zinda ki sada
suune pade hain kucha o bazar ishq ke
hai sham-e-anjuman ka naya husn jan-gudaz
shayad nahin rahe vo patingon ke valvale
taaza na rah sakengi rivayat-e-dasht-o-dar
vo fitna-sar gae jinhen kante aziiz the
ab kuchh nahin to niind se ankhen jalaen ham
aao ki jashn-e-marg-e-mohabbat manaen ham!
socha na tha ki aaega ye din bhi phir kabhi
ik baar phir mile hain, zara muskura to len!
kya jaane ab na ulfat-e-derina yaad aae
is husn-e-ikhtiyar pe ankhen jhuka to len
barsa labon se phuul tiri umar ho daraz
sambhle hue to hain pa zara dagmaga to len
aur apna apna ahd-e-vafa bhuul jaaen ham
aao ki jashn-e-marg-e-mohabbat manaen ham!
barson ki baat hai ki mire ji men aai thi
main sochta tha tujh se kahun, chhod kya kahun
ab kaun un shikasta mazaron ki baat laae
maazi pe apne haal ko tarjih kyuun na duun
matam khizan ka ho ki baharon kaa, ek hai
shayad na phir mile tiri ankhon ka ye fusun
jo shama-e-intizar jali thi bujhaen ham
aao ki jashn-e-marg-e-mohabbat manaen ham!
