Ayaadat Hoti Jati Hai Ibaadat Hoti Jati Hai

Meena Kumari Naz

ayadat hoti jaati hai ibadat hoti jaati hai

mere marne ki dekho sab ko aadat hoti jaati hai

nami si aankh men aur honT bhi bhige hue se hain

ye bhiga-pan hi dekho muskurahaT hoti jaati hai

tere qadmon ki aahaT ko hai dil ye DhunDhta har dam

har ik avaz pe ik thartharahaT hoti jaati hai

ye kaisi yaas hai rone ki bhi aur muskurane ki

ye kaisa dard hai ki jhunjhunahaT hoti jaati hai

kabhi to ḳhubsurat apni hi ankhon men aise the

kisi gham-ḳhana se goya mohabbat hoti jaati hai

ḳhud hi ko tez naḳhunon se haa.e nochte hain ab

hamen allah ḳhud se kaisi ulfat hoti jaati hai
