Ahmad Shahryar
nae zamanon ki chaap to sar pe aa khadi thi
miri samaat guzishta advar men padi thi
udhar diye ka badan hava se tha paara paara
idhar andhere ki aankh men ik kiran gadi thi
falak pe tha atishin darakhton ka ek jangal
aur un darakhton ke biich tarik jhonpadi thi
samai kis tarah meri ankhon ki putliyon men
vo ek hairat jo aine se bahut badi thi
jise piroya tha apne hathon se tere gham ne
sada-e-girya men hichkiyon ki ajab ladi thi
hamari palkon pe raqs karte hue sharare
aur asman men kahin sitaron ki phuljadi thi
tulu sub.h-e-hazar khurshid ki dua par
bujhe charaghon ki raakh daman pe aa padi thi
sabhi ghamin the mire piyale men zahr pa kar
main mutmain tha ki meri takmil ki ghadi thi
saval-e-rukh gulistan men aaya to phuul thahra
labon ki hasrat sukhan men pahunchi to pankhudi thi
ye log to un dinon bhi na-khush the ‘shahryara’
ki jin dinon mere paas jaadu ki ik chhadi thi
