SORT BY

kuchh to hawa bhi sard thi kuchh tha tera KHayal bhi

 

ku-ba-ku phail gai baat shanasai ki

 

chalne ka hausla nahin rukna muhaal kar diya

 

wo to KHush-bu hai hawaon mein bikhar jaega

 

aks-e-KHushbu hun bikharne se na roke koi

 

ab bhala chhoD ke ghar kya karte

 

kamal-e-zabt ko KHud bhi to aazmaungi

 

pura dukh aur aadha chand

 

bahut roya wo hum ko yaad kar ke

 

apni ruswai tere nam ka charcha dekhun

 

gae mausam mein jo khilte the gulabon ki tarah

 

dhanak dhanak meri poron ke KHwab kar dega

 

bichhDa hai jo ek bar to milte nahin dekha

 

baadban khulne se pahle ka ishaara dekhna

 

teri KHushbu ka pata karti hai

 

TuTi hai meri nind magar tumko is se kya

 

ab itni sadgi laen kahan se

 

apni tanhai mere nam pe aabaad kare

 

rasta bhi kaThin dhup mein shiddat bhi bahut thi

 

baKHt se koi shikayat hai na aflak se hai

 

shauq-e-raqs se jab tak ungliyan nahin khultin

 

pa-ba-gil sab hain rihai ki kare tadbir kaun

 

ek hunar tha kamal tha kya tha

 

humne hi lauTne ka irada nahin kiya

 

agarche tujhse bahut iKHtilaf bhi na hua

 

Dasne lage hain KHwab magar kis se boliye

 

qaid mein guzregi jo umr baDe kaam ki thi

 

barish hui to phulon ke tan chaak ho gae

 

shab wahi lekin sitara aur hai

 

justuju khoe huon ki umr bhar karte rahe

 

tera ghar aur mera jangal bhigta hai sath sath

 

dil ka kya hai wo to chahega musalsal milna

 

khuli aankhon mein sapna jhankta hai

 

harf-e-taza nai KHushbu mein likha chahta hai

 

gulab hath mein ho aankh mein sitara ho

 

kuchh faisla to ho ki kidhar jaana chahiye

 

chaarasazon ki aziyyat nahin dekhi jati

 

wo hum nahin jinhen sahna ye jabr aa jata

 

dua ka TuTa hua harf sard aah mein hai

 

ashk aankh mein phir aTak raha hai

 

ek suraj tha ki taron ke gharane se uTha

 

baja ki aankh mein nindon ke silsile bhi nahin

 

charagh-e-rah bujha kya ki rahnuma bhi gaya

 

waqt-e-ruKHsat aa gaya dil phir bhi ghabraya nahin

 

kya kare meri masihai bhi karne wala

 

tarash kar mere bazu uDan chhoD gaya

 

apni hi sada sunun kahan tak

 

mushkil hai ki ab shahr mein nikle koi ghar se

 

gawahi kaise TuTti muamla KHuda ka tha

 

qadmon mein bhi takan thi ghar bhi qarib tha
