Ab Ke Tajdid-e-wafa Ka Nahin Imkan Jaanan

ab ke tajdid-e-wafa ka nahin imkan jaanan

yaad kya tujh ko dilaen tera paiman jaanan

yunhi mausam ki ada dekh ke yaad aaya hai

kis qadar jald badal jate hain insan jaanan

zindagi teri ata thi so tere nam ki hai

hum ne jaise bhi basar ki tera ehsan jaanan

dil ye kahta hai ki shayad hai fasurda tu bhi

dil ki kya baat karen dil to hai nadan jaanan

awwal awwal ki mohabbat ke nashe yaad to kar

be-piye bhi tera chehra tha gulistan jaanan

aaKHir aaKHir to ye aalam hai ki ab hosh nahin

rag-e-mina sulag uTThi ki rag-e-jaan jaanan

muddaton se yahi aalam na tawaqqo na umid

dil pukare hi chala jata hai jaanan jaanan

hum bhi kya sada the hum ne bhi samajh rakkha tha

gham-e-dauran se juda hai gham-e-jaanan jaanan

ab ke kuchh aisi saji mahfil-e-yaran jaanan

sar-ba-zanu hai koi sar-ba-gareban jaanan

har koi apni hi aawaz se kanp uThta hai

har koi apne hi sae se hirasan jaanan

jis ko dekho wahi zanjir-ba-pa lagta hai

shahr ka shahr hua daKHil-e-zindan jaanan

ab tera zikr bhi shayad hi ghazal mein aae

aur se aur hue dard ke unwan jaanan

hum ki ruThi hui rut ko bhi mana lete the

hum ne dekha hi na tha mausam-e-hijran jaanan

hosh aaya to sabhi KHwab the reza reza

jaise uDte hue auraq-e-pareshan jaanan
