Kaifi Azmi

ruuh bechain hai ik dil ki aziyyat kya hai

dil hi shoala hai to ye soz-e-mohabbat kya hai

vo mujhe bhuul gai is ki shikayat kya hai

ranj to ye hai ki ro ro ke bhulaya hoga

vo kahan aur kahan kahish-e-gham, sozish-e-jan

us ki rangin nazar aur nuqush-e-hirman

us ka ehsas-e-latif aur shikast-e-arman

taana-zan ek zamana nazar aaya hoga

jhuk gai hogi javan-sal umangon ki jabin

mit gai hogi lalak, duub gaya hoga yaqin

chha gaya hoga dhuan, ghuum gai hogi zamin

apne pahle hi gharaunde ko jo dhaya hoga

dil ne aise bhi kuchh afsane sunae honge

ashk ankhon ne piye aur na bahae honge

band kamre men jo khat mere jalae honge

ek ik harf jabin par ubhar aaya hoga

us ne ghabra ke nazar laakh bachai hogi

mit ke ik naqsh ne sau shakl dikhai hogi

mez se jab miri tasvir hatai hogi

har taraf mujh ko tadapta hua paaya hoga

be-mahal chhed pe jazbat ubal aae honge

gham pasheman-e-tabassum men dhal aae honge

naam par mere jab aansu nikal aae honge

sar na kandhe se saheli ke uthaya hoga

zulf zid kar ke kisi ne jo hatai hogi

ruthe jalvon pe khizan aur bhi chhai hogi

barq ashvon ne kai din na girai hogi

rang chehre pe kai roz na aaya hoga
