Ghazal Ab Ke Tajdiid-E-Vafaa … 'Ahmed Faraz

[Shehbaz]

Ab ke tajdiid-e-vafaa kaa nahiin imkaaN jaanaaN
yaad kyaa tujh ko dilaayeN teraa paimaaN jaanaaN

YuuN hii mausam kii adaa dekh ke yaad aayaa hai
Kis qadar jald badal jaate hain insaaN jaanaaN

Zindagii terii ataa thii so tere naam kii hai
Ham ne jaise bhii basar kii teraa ehasaaN jaanaaN

Dil ye kahataa hai ki shaayad ho fasurdaa tuu bhii
Dil kii kyaa baat karen dil to hai naadaaN jaanaaN

Avval-avval kii muhabbat ke nashe yaad to kar
Be-piye bhi tera cheharaa thaa gulistaaN jaanaaN

AaKhir aaKhir to ye aalam hai ki ab hosh nahiin
Rag-e-miinaa sulag uThii ki rag-e-jaaN jaanaaN

Muddaton se hai ye aalam na tavaqqo na ummiid
Dil pukaare hii chalaa jaataa hai jaanaaN jaanaaN

Ham bhii kyaa saadaa the ham ne bhii samajh rakhaa thaa
Gam-e-dauraaN se judaa hai Gam-e-jaanaaN jaanaaN

Ab kii kuchh aisii sajii mahafil-e-yaaraaN jaanaaN
Sar-ba-zaanuu hai ko_ii sar-ba-girebaaN jaanaaN

Har ko_ii apanii hii aavaaz se kaaNp uThataa hai
Har ko_ii apane hii saaye se hiraasaaN jaanaaN

jis ko dekho vahii zanjiir-ba-paa lagataa hai
Shahar kaa shahar huaa daaKhil-e-zandaaN jaanaaN

Ab teraa zikr bhii shaayad hii Gazal men aaye
Aur se aur huaa dard kaa unvaaN jaanaaN

Ham ki ruuThii hu_ii rut ko bhii manaa lete the
Ham ne dekhaa hii na thaa mausam-e-hijraaN jaanaaN

Hosh aayaa to sabhii Khaab the rezaa-rezaa
Jaise uDate huye auraaq-e-pareshaaN jaanaaN
