Main Dariya Hun Magar Donon Taraf Sahil Hai Tanhai

Sabeela Inam Siddiqui

main dariya huun magar donon taraf sahil hai tanha.i

talatum-ḳhez maujon men miri shamil hai tanha.i

mohabbat ho to tanha.i men bhi ik kaif hota hai

tamannaon ki naghma-afrin mahfil hai tanha.i

bahut din vaqt ki hangama-ara.i men guzre hain

inhen guzre hue ayyam ka hasil hai tanha.i

hujum-e-zist se duuri ne ye mahaul baḳhsha hai

akeli main mira kamra hai aur qatil hai tanha.i

mire har kaam ki mujh ko vahi tahrik deti hai

agarche dekhne men kis qadar mushkil hai tanha.i

usi ne to taḳhayyul ko mire parvaz baḳhshi hai

ḳhuda ka shukr hai jo ab kisi qabil hai tanha.i

mohabbat ki shuaon se tavana.i jo milti hai

isi rangini-e-mafhum men daḳhil hai tanha.i

ḳhuda hasrat-zada dil ki tamannaon se vaqif hai

dua.en roz-o-shab karti hui saa.il hai tanha.i

kisi ki yaad hai dil men abhi tak anjuman-ara

‘sabila’ kaun samjhega ki mera dil hai tanha.i
