Tasawwur

Kaifi Azmi

ye kis tarah yaad aa rahi ho ye khvab kaisa dikha rahi ho

ki jaise sach-much nigah ke samne khadi muskura rahi ho

ye jism-e-nazuk, ye narm bahen, hasin gardan, sidaul baazu

shagufta chehra, saloni rangat, ghanera juda, siyah gesu

nashili ankhen, rasili chitvan, daraz palken, mahin abru

tamam shokhi, tamam bijli, tamam masti, tamam jaadu

hazaron jaadu jaga rahi ho

ye khvab kaisa dikha rahi ho

gulabi lab, muskurate ariz, jabin kushada, buland qamat

nigah men bijliyon ki jhil-mil, adaon men shabnami latafat

dhadakta sina, mahakti sansen, nava men ras, ankhdiyon men amrit

hama halavat, hama malahat, hama tarannum, hama nazakat

lachak lachak gunguna rahi ho

ye khvab kaisa dikha rahi ho

to kya mujhe tum jala hi logi gale se apne laga hi logi

jo phuul juude se gir pada hai tadap ke us ko utha hi logi

bhadakte shoalon, kadakti bijli se mera khirman bacha hi logi

ghaneri zulfon ki chhanv men muskura ke mujh ko chhupa hi logi

ki aaj tak aazma rahi ho

ye khvab kaisa dikha rahi ho

nahin mohabbat ki koi qimat jo koi qimat ada karogi

vafa ki fursat na degi duniya hazar azm-e-vafa karogi

mujhe bahalne do ranj-o-gham se sahare kab tak diya karogi

junun ko itna na gudgudao, pakad luun daman to kya karogi

qarib badhti hi aa rahi ho

ye khvab kaisa dikha rahi ho
