hijr kii pahalii shaam ke saaye duur ufaq tak chhaaye the
Qateel Shifai

hijr kii pahalii shaam ke saaye duur ufaq tak chhaaye the
ham jab us ke shahar se nikale sab raaste sa.Nvalaaye the

jaane vo kyaa soch rahaa thaa apane dil me.n saarii raat
pyaar kii baate.n karate karate us ke nain bhar aaye the

mere andar chalii thii aa.Ndhii Thiik usii din patajha.D kii
jis din apane juu.De me.n usane kuchh phuul sajaaye the

usane kitane pyaar se apanaa kufr diyaa nazaraane me.n
ham apane iimaan kaa saudaa jis se karane aaye the

kaise jaatii mere badan se biite lamho.n kii Khushbuu
Khvaabo.n kii us bastii me.n kuchh phuul mere ham-saaye the

kaisaa pyaaraa manzar thaa jab dekh ke apane saathii ko
pe.D pe baiThii ik chi.Diyaa ne apane par phailaaye the

ruKhsat ke din bhiigii aa.Nkho.n us kaa vo kahanaa haa_e "Qateel"
tum ko lauT hii jaanaa thaa to is nagarii kyuu.N aaye the
