yaad kyaa dast-e-hunar hai ki sanvarataa gayaa main - Pirzada Qasim

yaad kyaa dast-e-hunar hai ki sanvarataa gayaa main

us ko sochaa to use yaad hii karataa gayaa main

is ko tahaziib-e-junuun kahiye ki mujh se pahale

jaise bikhare hain sabhii log bikharataa gayaa main

naqsh kitane the ki maaduum hue silsilaavaar

aur har naqsh ke pahaluu se ubharataa gayaa main

ek tasviir banaaii thii mukammal na huii

ek hii rang lahuu rang thaa bharataa gayaa main

harf-e-ikraar hii kahataa rahaa beKhaufii se

yaanii inkaar ke aashob se darataa gayaa main

apane andar ke talaatum ne rakkhaa hai aabaad

Khud hii ikraar kiyaa Khud hii mukarataa gayaa main

har nafas badhataa gayaa us kii tamannaa kaa Kharosh

lamhaa lamhaa isii vahashat men nikharataa gayaa main

zindagii kuu-e-malaamat hai koii kyaa thahare

apanii hii vazaa kaa main huun so thaharataa gayaa main
