Kisi Kisi Ko Hi Aate Hain Ras Afsane

Asad Raza

kisi kisi ko hi aate hain raas afsane

hamen to karte hain aksar udaas afsane

na.e zamane ke in men ka.i ishare hain

bahut purane hain go mere paas afsane

ḳhushi ke vaste jis ne gale lagaya unhen

usi ko chhoḌ ga.e mahv-e-yas afsane

jinhen shu.ur se aari qarar dete the

vahi bane hain qayafa-shanas afsane

libas vaale bhi paḌhte hain in ko chhup-chhup kar

jo main ne likhe hain kuchh be-libas afsane

vo ek pyase ne ḳhun-e-jigar se likhe hain

jo ban ga.e hain samundar ki pyaas afsane

vo ek pyase ne ḳhun-e-jigar se likhe hain

jo ban ga.e hain samundar ki pyaas afsane

ḳhayal-o-ḳhvab ke qisse nahin hain in men ‘asad’

hain ahd-e-nau ke haqiqat-shanas afsane
