Kashid Shab

Kishwar Naheed

aaj ki raat bhi phir khvab jagaen ge mujhe

phir vo karvat se khayalon ke tasalsul ko mitane ki kashid-e-koshish

jism ke dard ko silvat men samo ke

vahi bistar pe tadapte hue mahjuri-e-janan ko

kabhi aah kabhi saans ki gahrai men shal karne ki

sai-e-nakam

ye bhi maalum hai

ye niim rassi fahm ki divar talak jast

ye saae ki tasvir kisi shakl-o-shabahat ke tasalsul ke nishan hain lekin

na-suburi ye badan todti angdaiyan

honton pe mahakti larzish

baat ko rabt ke ahang men laane ki talab

mere siine ka dhuan ankhen sharabor kiye

har bun-e-mu ko mulaqat ka juuya kar de

aankh chadhte hue dariya ki tarah hai pur-ab

paanv phisle hai to phir saans ka rishta na rahe

ham to chahen magar is dil ko ye achchha na lage

jan-kani had se badhi charagaro kuchh to karo
