Ahmad Shanas
bas ik jahan-e-tahayyur se aane vaala hai
vo ajnabi mujhe apna banane vaala hai
gulab sang ki surat dikhane vaala hai
kahan kahan vo mujhe azmane vaala hai
koi to dekhne vaala hai meri ankhon se
koi to hai jo tamasha dikhane vaala hai
ye chand aur sitare to ik bahana hain
kuchh aur hai jo yahan jagmagane vaala hai
har ek jism yahan ruuh ki alamat hai
ye regzar bhi naghma sunane vaala hai
bas ik saval ki takhliq hai bashar jaise
kahan se aaya hai kis or jaane vaala hai
use khabar hai kahan raushni ka makhaz hai
vo tirgi men dilon ko jalane vaala hai
amiir us ki amanat utha nahin sakta
faqir asal men us ka khazane vaala hai
vo ek pyaas ka lamha jo mere andar hai
kabhi kabhi to samundar lutane vaala hai
vo khaksar ko deta hai phuul hisse men
vo sang-zar men dariya bahane vaala hai
bahut aziiz hai zer-o-zabar ka khel use
bujha bujha ke tamanna jagane vaala hai
vo ek gauhar-e-yakta hai mere sagar men
vo ek ashk ki ankhon men aane vaala hai
samar ko bandh ke rakhta hai vo darakhton par
jo pak gaya use niche girane vaala hai
vo apne aap hi ghar laut aaega ‘ahmad’
kisi ko kaun hamesha bulane vaala hai
