har tamaashaaii faqat saahil se manzar dekhataa - Ahmed Faraz

har tamaashaaii faqat saahil se manzar dekhataa

kaun dariyaa ko ulatataa kaun gauhar dekhataa

vo to duniyaa ko merii diivaangii khush aa gaii

tere haathon men vagarnaa pahalaa patthar dekhataa

aankh men aansuu jade the par sadaa tujh ko na dii

is tavaqqo par ki shaayad tuu palat kar dekhataa

merii qismat kii lakiiren mere haathon men na thiin

tere maathe par koii meraa muqaddar dekhataa

zindagii phailii huii thii shaam-e-hijraan kii tarah

kis ko itanaa hausalaa thaa kaun jii kar dekhataa

duubane vaalaa thaa aur saahil pe cheharon kaa hujuum

pal kii mohalat thii main kis ko aankh bhar ke dekhataa

tuu bhii dil ko ik lahuu kii buund samajhaa hai 'faraz'

aankh gar hotii to qatre men samandar dekhataa
