Ahmad Faraz
ab kya sochen kya halat the kis karan ye zahr piya hai
ham ne us ke shahr ko chhoda aur ankhon ko muund liya hai
apna ye sheva to nahin tha apne gham auron ko saunpen
khud to jagte ya sote hain us ko kyuun be-khvab kiya hai
khilqat ke avaze bhi the band us ke darvaze bhi the
phir bhi us kuche se guzre phir bhi us ka naam liya hai
hijr ki rut jan-leva thi par ghalat sabhi andaze nikle
taaza rifaqat ke mausam tak main bhi jiya huun vo bhi jiya hai
ek ‘faraz’ tumhin tanha ho jo ab tak dukh ke rasiya ho
varna aksar dil valon ne dard ka rasta chhod diya hai
