Afzal Naved
ek ujli umang udaai thi
ham ne tum ne patang udaai thi
shaam barish men tere chehre se
abr ne qaus-e-rang udaai thi
main ne bachpan ki khushbu-e-nazuk
ek titli ke sang udaai thi
apni hi az-rah-e-tafannun-e-tabaa
dhajji-e-nam-o-nang adaai thi
khvab ne kis khumar ki khashak
darmiyan-e-palang udaai thi
koi bairuni aanch thi jis ne
andaruni tarang udaai thi
chhin kar ek dusre ki baqa
ham ne taz.hik-e-jang udaai thi
ehtimam-e-dhamal kho baitha
kis ne khak-e-malang udaai thi
mere charon taraf labon ki dhanak
us ne lagte hi ang udaai thi
ham ne puchha nahin hamari ana
kis se ho kar dabang udaai thi
phuljhadi thi ki tere kuche men
taan ga kar talang udaai thi
khud se tha bair paani men rah kar
ham ne mauj-e-nahang udaai thi
ek din ham ne haath phaila kar
chadar-e-pa-e-tang udaai thi
parkhache charon or bikhre the
ik badan ne surang udaai thi
phenk kar apne doston ki taraf
izz-o-jah-e-khadang udaai thi
zaiqa ja saka na munh se ‘naved’
daavat-e-shokh-o-shang udaai thi
