Khuda Vo Vaqt Na Laaye

Khuda vo vaqt na laaye ke sogvaar ho tu

Sukoo.n ki neend tujhe bhi haraam ho jaaye
Tiri masarrat paiham tamaam ho jaaye
Tori hayaat tujhe talkh jaam ho jaaye
Ghamon se aaina-e-dil gudaaz ho tera

Taveel raaton mein tu bhi qaraar ko tarsay
Tiri nigaah kisi gham gusaar ko tarsay
Khizaan raseeda tamanna kisi bahaar ko tarsay
Koi jabee.n na tiray sang-e-aastaan pe jhukay

Khuda vo vaqt na laaye keh tujh ko yaad aaye

Vo dil ke teray liye beqaraar ab bhi hai
Vo aankh jis ko tira intezaar ab bhi hai

Youn Arz-o-Talab Se

Youn arz-o-talab se kab aye dil, patthar dil paani hotay hain
Tum laakh raza ki khu daalo, kab khu-e-sitamgar jaati hai

Bedaad garon ki basti hai yaa.n daad kahaan khairaat kahaan
Sar phorti phirti hai nadaa.n fariyaad jo dar dar jaati hai

Haan, jaa.n ke zeyaa.n ki hum ko bhi tashveesh hai lekin kiya kijay
Her reh jo udher ko jaati hai, maqtal se guzar ker jaati hai

Hum ehl-e-qafas tanha bhi nahin, her roz naseem-e-subh-e-watan
Yaadon se moattar aati hai, ashkon se munavvar jaati hai

~Faiz Ahmed Faiz

Jahaan Kashti Ruki Meri

Jahaan kashti ruki meri kinaara aur tha koi
Jisay main dost samjha tha sitaara aur tha koi

Falak ki balcony mein Khuda khaamosh betha tha
To kiya in girnay vaalon ka sahaara aur tha koi

Bujhi aankhon ke daaman mein jami thi dhool barson ki
Voh chehra ab jo dekha hai dobaara, aur tha koi

Bohot aadil sahi munsif, magar insaaf kesay ho?
Gavaahi aur hai, qaatil hamaara, aur tha koi

Hava ki simt dekhi aur kashti daal di hum ne
Khula aa ker samandar mein ishaara aur tha koi

Fiza mehki chaman jaaga, achaanak khil uthay taaray
Kisi ke muskuraatay he nazaara aur tha koi

Vohi maanoos lehja tha, vohi aavaaz thi Amjad
Magar jo murr ke dekha to pukaara aur tha koi

Aankhon Ka Rang

Aankhon ka rang baat ka lehja badal gaya
Vo shakhs aik shaam mein kitna badal gaya

Koi bhi cheez apni jagah per nahin rahi
Jaatay he aik shakhs ke kiya kiya badal gaya

Hairat se saaray lafz usay dekhtay rahay
Baaton mein apni baat ko kesa badal gaya

Kehnay ko aik sehen mein deewaar he bani
Ghar ki fiza makaan ka naqsha badal gaya

Shayed wafa ke khel se ukta gaya tha vo
Manzil ke paas aa ke jo rasta badal gaya

Aankhon mein jitnay ashk thay jugnu se ban gaye
Vo muskuraaya aur miri duniya badal gaya

~ Amjad Islam Amjad
