vo koii aur na thaa chand Khushk patte the - Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi

vo koii aur na thaa chand Khushk patte the

shajar se tuut ke jo fasl-e-gul pe roye the

abhii abhii tumhen sochaa to kuchh na yaad aayaa

abhii abhii to ham ek-duusare se bichhade the

tumhaare baad chaman par jab ik nazar daalii

kalii kalii men Khizaan ke chiraag jalate the

tamaam umr vafaa ke gunaahgaar rahe

ye aur baat ki ham aadamii to achchhe the

shab-e-Khaamosh ko tanhaaii ne zabaan de dii

pahaad guunjate the dasht sansanaate the

vo ek baar mare jin ko thaa hayaat se pyaar

jo zindagii se gurezaan the roz marate the

naye Khayaal ab aate hain dhal ke zahan men

hamaare dil men kabhii khet lahlahaate the

ye iratiqaa kaa chalan hai ki har zamaane men

puraane log naye aadamii se darate the

'nadeem' jo bhii mulaaqaat thii adhuurii thii

ki ek chehare ke piichhe hazaar chehare the
