Ye Kis Wahshat-Zada Lamhe Mein daKHil Ho Gae Hain

Aziz Nabeel

ye kis vahshat-zada lamhe men daḳhil ho ga.e hain

ham apne aap ke madd-e-muqabil ho ga.e hain

ka.i chehre miri sochon se zaa.il ho ga.e hain

ka.i lahje mire lahje men shamil ho ga.e hain

ḳhuda ke naam se tufan men kashti utari

bhanvar jitne samundar men the, sahil ho ga.e hain

vo kuchh pal jin ki ThanDi chhanv men tum ho hamare

vahi kuchh pal to jivan bhar ka hasil ho ga.e hain

ulajhte ja rahe hain justuju ke par musalsal

zamin-ta-asman kitne masa.il ho ga.e hain!

‘nabil’ avaz bhi apni kahan thi muddaton se

jo tum aa.e to ham yak-laḳht mahfil ho ga.e hain
