Nazar Ko Phir Koi Chehra Dikhaya Ja Raha Hai

Irfan Sattar

nazar ko phir koi chehra dikhaya ja raha hai

ye tum ḳhud ho ki mujh ko azmaya ja raha hai

bahut asudgi se roz-o-shab kaTne lage hain

mujhe malum hai mujh ko ganvaya ja raha hai

sar-e-mizhgan bagule aa ke vapas ja rahe hain

ajab tufan siine se uThaya ja raha hai

mira gham hai agar kuchh muḳhtalif to is bina par

mire gham ko hansi men kyuun uḌaya ja raha hai

badan kis taur shamil tha mire kar-e-junun men

mire dhoke men us ko kyuun miTaya ja raha hai

vo divar-e-ana jis ne mujhe tanha kiya tha

usi divar ko mujh men giraya ja raha hai

miri ḳhushiyon men teri is ḳhushi ko kya kahun main

charagh-e-arzu tujh ko bujhaya ja raha hai

ḳhirad ki sadgi dekho ki zahir halaton se

miri vahshat ka andaza lagaya ja raha hai

abhi ai bad-e-vahshat is taraf ka ruḳh na karna

yahan mujh ko bikharne se bachaya ja raha hai
