Khalish


ajiib tarz-e-mulaaqaat ab ke bar rahii 

tumhii.n the badale hue yaa merii nigaahe.n thii.n 
tumhaarii nazaro.n se lagataa thaa jaise merii bajaaye 
tumhaare ghar me.n ko_ii aur shaKhs aayaa hai 
tumhaare ohade kii dene.n tumhen mubaarak 

so tum ne meraa svaagat usii tarah se kiyaa 
jo afasaraan-e-hukuumat ke aitaqaad me.n hai 
takallufan mere nazadiik aa ke baiTh gaye 
phir ehatamaam se mausam kaa zikr chhe.D diyaa 

kuchh us ke baad siyaasat kii baat bhii nikalii 
adab par bhii ko_ii do chaar tabasare faramaaye 
magar na tum ne hameshaa kii tarah ye puuchhaa 
kyaa vaqt kaisaa guzarataa hai teraa jaan-e-hayaat 

pahaa.D din kii aziiyat me.n kitanii shiddat hai 
ujaa.D raat kii tanhaa_ii kyaa qayaamat hai 
shabo.n kii sust ravii kaa tujhe bhii shikavaa hai 
Gam-e-firaaq ke qisse nishaat-e-vasl kaa zikr 
ravaayatan hii sahii ko_ii baat to karate
