Ashkon Ne Samundar Mein Ek Aag Lagai Hai

Waqas Yusuf

ashkon ne samundar men ik aag laga.i hai

paani pe sitam-gar ki tasvir bana.i hai

is dil ne rulaya hai ik baar mujhe phir se

is dil ne mujhe phir se vo yaad dila.i hai

ye kaisi juda.i hai jo ḳhatm nahin hoti

ye kaisi udasi hai is dil pe jo chha.i hai

main ne hi mohabbat ka iz.har kiya pahle

main ne hi use ja kar ye baat bata.i hai

mushkil se guzara hai is dil ne bahut mujh ko

is dil ko agar teri kuchh yaad bhi aa.i hai

ik kaam ka ham ne bhi ye kaam kiya hai bas

ik naam ki shohrat hi bas ham ne kama.i hai

bas main ne ‘vaqas’ us ko is dil men basaya hai

bas main ne ‘vaqas’ us se ye baat chhupa.i hai
