ab ke tajdiid-e-vafaa kaa nahiin imkaan jaanaan - Ahmed Faraz

ab ke tajdiid-e-vafaa kaa nahiin imkaan jaanaan

yaad kyaa tujh ko dilaayen teraa paimaan jaanaan

yuun hii mausam kii adaa dekh ke yaad aayaa hai

kis qadar jald badal jaate hain insaan jaanaan

zindagii terii ataa thii so tere naam kii hai

ham ne jaise bhii basar kii teraa ehasaan jaanaan

dil ye kahataa hai ki shaayad ho fasurdaa tuu bhii

dil kii kyaa baat karen dil to hai naadaan jaanaan

avval-avval kii muhabbat ke nashe yaad to kar

bepiye bhii teraa cheharaa thaa gulistaan jaanaan

aakhir aakhir to ye aalam hai ki ab hosh nahiin

rag-e-miinaa sulag uthii ki rag-e-jaan jaanaan

muddaton se ye aalam na tavaqqo na ummiid

dil pukaare hii chalaa jaataa hai jaanaan jaanaan

ham bhii kyaa saadaa the ham ne bhii samajh rakhaa thaa

gam-e-dauraan se judaa hai gam-e-jaanaan jaanaan

ab kii kuchh aisii sajii mahafil-e-yaaraan jaanaan

sar-ba-zaanuu hai koii sar-ba-girebaan jaanaan

har koii apanii hii aavaaz se kaanp uthataa hai

har koii apane hii saaye se hiraasaan jaanaan

jis ko dekho vahii zanjiir-ba-paa lagataa hai

shahar kaa shahar huaa daakhil-e-zindaan jaanaan

ab teraa zikr bhii shaayad hii gazal men aaye

aur se aur huaa dard kaa unvaan jaanaan

ham ki ruuthii huii rut ko bhii manaa lete the

ham ne dekhaa hii na thaa mausam-e-hijraan jaanaan

hosh aayaa to sabhii khvaab the rezaa-rezaa

jaise udate huye auraaq-e-pareshaan jaanaan
