Kaifi Azmi
jab bhi chuum leta huun un hasin ankhon ko
sau charagh andhere men jhilmilane lagte hain
khushk khushk honton men jaise dil khinch aata hai
dil men kitne aine thartharane lagte hain
phuul kya shagufe kya chand kya sitare kya
sab raqib qadmon par sar jhukane lagte hain
zehn jaag uthta hai ruuh jaag uthti hai
naqsh admiyat ke jagmagane lagte hain
lau nikalne lagti hai mandiron ke siine se
devta fazaon men muskurane lagte hain
raqs karne lagti hain muraten ajanta ki
muddaton ke lab-basta ghaar gaane lagte hain
phuul khilne lagte hain ujde ujde gulshan men
tishna tishna giiti par abr chhane lagte hain
lamha bhar ko ye duniya zulm chhod deti hai
lamha bhar ko sab patthar muskurane lagte hain
