Lahje Ka Ras Hansi Ki Dhanak ChhoD Kar Gaya

lahje ka ras hansi ki dhanak chhoD kar gaya

wo jate jate dil mein kasak chhoD kar gaya

mauj-e-hawa-e-gul sa wo guzra tha ek bar

phir bhi masham-e-jaan mein mahak chhoD kar gaya

aaya tha pichhli raat dabe panw mere ghar

pazeb ki ragon mein jhanak chhoD kar gaya

larza giraft-e-lams ki lazzat se bar bar

banhon mein shaKH-e-gul ki lachak chhoD kar gaya

aaya tha shahr-e-gul se bulawa mere liye

zindan mein beDiyon ki chhanak chhoD kar gaya

tha dekhna kuchh apna tilism-e-hunar use

bagh-e-bahisht o hur o malak chhoD kar gaya

aawara ku-ba-ku ye use DhunDhti phire

pa-e-hawa mein kaisi sanak chhoD kar gaya

hanste the zaKHm aur bhi kha kha ke zarb-e-sang

rahon mein phul dur talak chhoD kar gaya

hathon mein de ke khinch lin resham-kalaiyan

kamre mein chuDiyon ki khanak chhoD kar gaya

aankhen na us ki bar-e-nadamat se uTh sakin

zaKHmon pe mere aur namak chhoD kar gaya

palkon pe jugnuon ka basera hai waqt-e-sham

'anjum' main paniyon mein chamak chhoD kar gaya
