Sad Poetry of Aslam Mahmood

Yahi Nahin Ki Kisi Yaad Ne Malul Kiya

Wo Dard Hun Koi Chaara Nahin Hai Jis Ka Kahin

Dekh Aa Kar Ki Tere Hijr Mein Bhi Zinda Hain

Tu Apne Shahr-e-tarab Se Na Puchh Haal Mera

Sarab-e-mani-o-mafhum Mein Bhatakte Hain

Rang Sare Apne Andar Raftagan Ke Hain

Raat Aati Hai To Taqon Mein Jalate Hain Charagh

Pattharon Par Wadiyon Mein Naqsh-e-pa Mera Bhi Hai

Nae Paikar Nae Sanche Mein Dhalna Chahta Hun Main

Na Malal-e-hijr Na Muntazir Hain Hawa-e-sham-e-visal Ke

Mizha Pe Khwab Nahin Intizar Sa Kuchh Hai

Main Hajw Ek Apne Har Qaside Ki Rad Mein Tahrir Kar Raha Hun

Main Ek Ret Ka Paikar Tha Aur Bikhar Bhi Gaya

Kyun Mujhse Gurezan Hai Main Tera Muqaddar Hun

Kiya Gardishon Ke Hawale Use Chaak Par Rakh Diya

Jal Raha Hun To Ajab Rang O Saman Hai Mera

Dekh Ke Arzan Lahu Surkhi-e-manzar Khamosh

Dasht Marub Hai Kitna Meri Virani Se

Bujh Gae Manzar Ufuq Par Har Nishan Maddham Hua

Aks Jal Jaenge Aaine Bikhar Jaenge

Ai Mere Ghubar-e-sar Tu Hi To Nahin Tanha Raegan To Main Bhi Hun
