zakhm ko phuul to sar sar ko sabaa kahate hain - Ahmed Faraz

zakhm ko phuul to sar sar ko sabaa kahate hain

jaane kyaa daur hai kyaa log hain kyaa kahate hain

kyaa qayaamat hai ke jin ke liye ruk ruk ke chale

ab vahii log hamen aabalaapaa kahate hain

koii batalaao ke ik umr kaa bichhadaa mahabuub

ittefaaqan kahiin mil jaaye to kyaa kahate hain

ye bhii andaaz-e-sukhan hai ke jafaa ko terii

gamzaa-o-ishvaa-o-andaaz-o-adaa kahate hain

jab talak duur hai tuu terii parastish kar len

ham jise chhuu na saken us ko khudaa kahate hain

kyaa ta'ajjub hai ke ham ahl-e-tamannaa ko 'faraaz'

vo jo maharuum-e-tamannaa hain buraa kahate hain
