Mere Purkhon Ki Pahli dua

Ishrat Afreen

raat ki kokh se

subh ki ek nannhi kiran ne janam yuun liya

shab ne nannhi shafaq ki gulabi hasin mutthiyan khol kar

kuchh lakiren padhin

aur saba se na maalum chupke se kya kah diya

yuun ki shabnam ki ankhon se aansu bahe

ik sitara hansa

chandni muskurati hui chal padi

aur naqahat se pahlu badalte hue

chaunk kar meri maan ne bade shauq se

kuchh ishara kiya

ahaton aur sargoshiyon men kisi ne kaha

aah ladki hai ye

itni afsurda avaz mere khuda

meri pahli samaat pe likkhi gai

meri pahli hi sanson men ghola gaya

in shikasta se lahjon ka zahrila-pan

aah ladki hai

ladki hai

ladki hai ye

is ki qismat ki mango dua

ab bhi meri samaat pe likkhi hai vo

mere purkhon ki pahli dua
