Ada Jafarey
na bam-o-dasht na dariya na kohsar mile
junun ki raah thi halat sazgar mile
labon pe harf-e-shikayat bhi aa ke tuut gaya
vo khud figar the jo haath sang-bar mile
udhar fasil-e-shab-e-gham idhar hai shahr-e-panah
saba se kahiyo vahin aa ke ek baar mile
ye bebasi to mire ahd ka muqaddar thi
dilon ko dagh-e-tamanna bhi mustaar mile
hatheliyon pe charagh-e-dua sajae hue
mile nigar-e-baharan to sharmsar mile
koi to rah-e-tamanna men ham-safar hota
koi to ku-e-vafa men khata-shiar mile
mohabbaton se to pahle hi kya tavaqqo thi
muravvaton ke bhi daman taar taar mile
main kaise apne khadd-o-khal aaj pahchanun
jo aina mile aluda-e-ghubar mile
miri talab ki ye mearaj hai ki ijz ‘ada’
jidhar se guzrun vahi ek rahguzar mile
