Zillat-E-Tanhai Se Ghabra K Aayi Hoon

PARVEEN SHAKIR

Zillat-E-Tanhai Se Ghabra K Aayi Hoon,

Main Abhi Abhi Sheher-E-Wafa Se Aayi Hoon,

 

Kuch Dair Hawa Ko batoon Me Lagaye Rakhna,

Main Ghar Mein Ek Charagh Jala K Aayi Hoon,

 

Uss Ne Pocha Hai Ehd-E-Wafa Nibhao Gay?

So Haathon Mein Quran Utha K Aayi Hoon,

 

Wo Chahe To Ab Mujh Se Tark-E-Talluq Kar Le,

Wo Meri Zindagi Hai Usay Bata K Aayi Hoon,

 

Wo Ab Bhi Mujhe Anna Parast Samajhta Hai,

Main Jisay Ro Ro Ke Mana K Aayi Hoon,

Kuch Tu Hawa Bhi Sard Thi

Kuch Tu Hawa Bhi Sard Thi, Kuch Tha Tera Khayal Bhi,
Dil Ko Khushi Kay Sath Sath, Hota Raha Malaal Bhi.

Baat Wo Adhi Raat Ki, Raat Wo Puray Chaand Ki,
Chaand Bhi Aain Cheet Ka Is Pay Tera Jamaal Bhi.

Sub se Nazar Bacha k wo mujh ko kuch aise dekhta,
Ek Dafa to ruk gayi Gardish-e-Mah o Saal Bhi.

Dil ko Chamak Sake ga Kia, Phir bhi Tarash k Dekh Lay,
Sisha Garane-Shahar k Haat ka ye Kamal Bhi,

Us Ko Na Paa Sakay Thay Jab Dil Ka Ajeeb Haal Tha,
Ab Jo Palat Kay Dekhye, Baat Thi Kuch Mohaal Bhi,

Meri Talab Tha Aik Shaks Wo Jo Nahi Mila Tu Phir,
Haath Dua se Yun Gira, Bhol Gaya Sawal Bhi,

Shaam Ki Na Samaj Hawa Poch Rahi Hai Ek Pata,
Mouj-e-Hawa-e-Ko-e-Yaar Kuch To Mera Khayal Bhi.
