Kabhi Jab Dastan-E-Gardish-E-Ayyam Likhta Hun

Waliullah Wali

kabhi jab dastan-e-gardish-e-ayyam likhta huun

to phir unvan ki surat men apna naam likhta huun

kabhi aghaz likhta huun kabhi anjam likhta huun

asiran-e-mohabbat ki jo sub.h-o-sham likhta huun

jalane lagti hai jab shiddat-e-tishna-labi mujh ko

tiri ankhon ko mai-ḳhana nazar ko jaam likhta huun

kisi par kis liye tohmat rakhun ḳhana-ḳharabi ki

main apne naam barbadi ke sab ilzam likhta huun

mohabbat ke taqaddus ko kabhi pamal mat karna

mohabbat ka yahi paigham sab ke naam likhta huun

muḳhatab hone lagti hai ḳhud apni zindagi mujh se

‘vali’ jab bhi main sharah-e-gardish-e-ayyam likhta huun
