is baar vo milaa to ajiib us kaa rang thaa - Himayat Ali Shayar

is baar vo milaa to ajiib us kaa rang thaa

alfaaz men tarang na lahajaa dabang tha

ek soch thii ki bikharii huii khaal-o-khad men thii

ek dard thaa ki jis kaa shahiid ang-ang thaa

ek aag thii ki raakh men poshidaa thii kahiin

ek jism thaa ki ruuh se masaruuf-e-jang thaa

main ne kahaa ki yaar tumhen kyaa huaa hai ye

us ne kahaa ki umr-e-ravaan kii ataa hai ye

main ne kahaa ki umr-e-ravaan to sabhii kii hai

us ne kahaa ki fikr-o-nazar kii ataa hai ye

main ne kahaa ki sochataa rahata to main bhii huun

us ne kahaa ki aaiinaa rakhaa huaa hai ye

dekhaa to meraa apanaa hii aks-e-jamaal thaa vo

vo main thaa aur "himayat ali" thaa vo
