Ishrat Afreen
is qadar hasin chehra
is qadar hasin ankhen
ye gulab se rukhsar
pal men tamtama utthen
pal men jagmaga utthen
pankhudi se nazuk lab
aap hi bisoren aur
aap muskura utthen
mujh ko yaad aata hai
jab tumhari kilkari
gunjti thi kamron men
jab tumhari gul-kari
phailti thi bistar par
shab ko jab jagate the
din ko jab thakate the
aisi hukmarani par
meri jaan jalti thi
aur aise lamhe men
tum hansi udate the
tum hansi udate the
qahqahe lagate the
kis ne ye sikhae sab
naaz aur ada tum ko
tum to saada kaghaz the
tum ko main ne jab paaya
tum ko main ne jab dekha
aur jis ghadi chuma
kya ajiib lamha tha
tum to ankhen munde the
aur jab khulin ankhen
hairati tha aina
munh taka hi karta tha
bas khamosh jis-tis ka
phir jo lab hue goya
kuchh yaqin na aata tha
sab karishma-sazi hai
ek andhe kiide ki
ya zara si mehnat hai
is bhali kumharan ki
jis ke band aave men
kuchh khabar nahin kya hai
aag hai ki paani hai
phuul hai ki chehra hai
haan suna ye tha main ne
arsh se farishta ik
aa ke batn-e-madar men
dhalta hai khadd-o-khal
nanhe nanhe aaza par
naqsh se banata hai
us hasin saaat men
jis ko jitni fursat ho
jaisi istitaat ho
vo hunar dikhata hai
so yaqin hai mera
jis aziim saaat men
mehrban farishte ne
tum ko mujh men dhala hai
us baligh saaat men
us ne shairi ki hai
us ne hamd likkhi hai
