Ab Is Sada Kahani Ko Naya Ek MoD Dena Tha

ab is sada kahani ko naya ek moD dena tha

zara si baat par ahd-e-wafa hi toD dena tha

mahakta tha badan har waqt jis ke lams-e-KHush-bu se

wahi gul-dasta dahliz-e-KHizan par chhoD dena tha

shikast-e-saz-e-dil ka umr bhar matam bhi kya karte

ki ek din hanste hanste saz-e-jaan hi toD dena tha

safar mein har qadam rah rah ke ye taklif hi dete

bahar-surat hamein in aablon ko phoD dena tha

ghalat-fahmi ke jhonkon se bikhar kar rah gae aaKHir

lahu ki aanch mein TuTe dilon ko joD dena tha

wo jis pe zikr hai qaul-o-qasam aur ahd-o-paiman ka

kitab-e-zindagi ke is waraq ko moD dena tha

banaya hi nahin hum ne kabhi ye soch kar 'anjum'

ki gautam ki tarah ek din hamein ghar chhoD dena tha
