bas ik nigaah-e-karam hai kaafii agar unhen pesh-o-pas nahiin hai - Shakeel Badayuni

bas ik nigaah-e-karam hai kaafii agar unhen pesh-o-pas nahiin hai

zaahe tamannaa kii merii fitarat asiir-e-hirs-o-havas nahiin hai

nazar se sayyaad duur ho jaa yahaan teraa mujh pe bas nahiin hai

chaman ko barbaad karanevaale ye aashiyaan hai qafas nahiin hai

kisii ke jalve tadap rahe hain huduud-e-hosh-o-khirad ke aage

huduud-e-hosh-o-khirad ke aage nigaah ke dastaras nahiin hai

jahaan kii nayarangiiyon se yaksar badal gaii aashiyaan kii suurat

qafas samajhatii hain jin ko nazaren vo dar-haqiiqat qafas nahiin hai

kahaan ke naale kahaan kii aahen jamii hain un kii taraf nigaahen

kuchh is qadar mahv-e-yaad huun main ki fursat-e-yak-nafas nahiin hai

tasavvur-e-ishrat-e-guzishtaa kaa husn-e-taasiir allaah allaah

vahii fazaayen vahii havaayen chaman se kuchh kam qafas nahiin hai

kisii ke be'etanaaiyon ne badal hii daalaa nizaam-e-gulashan

jo baat pahale bahaar men thii vo baat ab ke baras nahiin hai

ye buu-e-sumbul, ye khaandaa gul aur aah ye dard bharii sadaayen

qafas ke andar chaman ho shaayad chaman ke andar qafas nahiin hai

na hosh-e-khilvat na fikr-e-mahafil ayaan ho ab kis pe haalaat-e-dil

main aap hii apanaa ham-nafas huun meraa koii ham-nafas nahiin hai

karen bhii kyaa shikavaa-e-zamaanaa kahen bhii kyaa dard kaa fasaanaa

jahaan men hain laakh dushman-e-jaan koii masiihaa nafas nahiin hai

sunii hai ahal-e-junuun ne aksar khaamoshii-e-marg kii sadaayen

sunaa ye thaa kaaravaan-e-hastii rahiin-e-baang-e-jaras nahiin hai

chaman kii aazaadiyaan muakhkhar tasavvur-e-aashiyaan muqaddam

gam-e-asiiriihai naa-mukammal agar gam-e-khaar-o-khas nahiin hai

na kar mujhe sharmsaar naaseh main dil se majabuur huun ki jis kaa

hai yuun to kaun-o-makaan pe qaabuu magar muhabbat pe bas nahiin hai

kahaan vo ummiid aamad aamad kahaan ye iifaae ahad-e-fardaa

jab aitabaar-e-nazar na thaa kuchh ab aitabaar-e-nafas nahiin hai

vahiin hain nagmen vahii hai naale sun ai mujhe bhuul jaane vaale

terii sama'at se duur huun main jabhii to naalon men ras nahiin hai

"shakeel" duniyaa men jis ko dekhaa kuchh us kii duniyaa hii aur dekhii

hazaar naqqaad-e-zindagii hain magar koii nuktaaras nahiin hai
