Poet Name: Arifa Shahzad

darkhto? muntazir ho! paniyon men jhankte kya ho? khade ho sakit-o-jamid khud apne aks ki hairaniyon men gum tako ik

kaisi girhon men tar-e-nafas hai ye uljha hua saari peshaniyon par lakiron ka phaila hua jaal hai is men jakdi

december ke dalan men is chamakti hui aftabi tamazat ko ruuh men utare kiran-dar-kiran tum kise dekhti ho khunuk si

tumhen khojti hain jo ankhen… tum un men kise dekhte ho? koi gum-shuda muskurahat… jo dil ke khalaon ko bharne

faqat khali pinjra badan ka pada tha aur nim-va in kivadon ki har charcharahat men hairaniyan bolti thiin zamin ki

main aghaz-e-hasti se havva ki surat huun aadam ki khvahish ka ik shakhsana zamin ko basane ka bas ik bahana!

yahi din to azal se meri qismat tha magar ankhon men sahra ne bhari vo ret sab tarik lagta tha
