Afzal Naved
dhanak men sar the tiri shaal ke churae hue
main surmai tha sar-e-sham gungunae hue
samay ki lahar tire bazuon men le aai
hava men bahr tiri saans men samae hue
tamaniyat se uthana muhal tha mashal
main dekhne laga tha us ko sar jhukae hue
sahar ki guunj se avaza-e-jamal hua
so jagta raha atraf ko jagae hue
tha baagh baagh shua-e-safed se shab bhar
gulab-e-abyaz-e-rukh tha jhalak dikhae hue
khumar-e-qurmuzi se atishin tha saghar-e-khvab
bhara tha munh tire jamun se baada laae hue
anaar phutte the niind ke samundar men
vo dekhta tha mujhe phuljhadi lagae hue
dikha raha tha mire paniyon se shahr-e-visal
koi charagh sa andar tha jhilmilae hue
hava ke jhonkon men ja kar use main pi aaya
raha vo der talak jam-e-mai banae hue
ye teri meri judai ka naqsh hai badal
baras raha hai ba-yak-vaqt vaan bhi chhae hue
mutabaqat se raha taba ke alaav ko
kahin jalae hue aur kahin bujhae hue
hinai haath se lag kar saji kuchh aur ‘naved’
miri anguthi tha arse se vo gumae hue
