ek rida-e-sabz ki KHwahish bahut mahngi paDi

ek rida-e-sabz ki khwahish bahut mahngi padi
waqt padne par hamein barish bahut mahngi padi
hath kya tape ki poron se dhuan uthne laga
sard rut mein garmi-e-atish bahut mahngi padi


mom ki sidhi pe chadh kar chhu rahe the aaftab
phul se chehron ko ye koshish bahut mahngi padi
khar-e-qismat kya nikale hath zakhmi kar liye
nakhun-e-tadbir ki kawish bahut mahngi padi


is amal ne to kahin ka bhi na rakkha dosto
khud ko chahe jaane ki khwahish bahut mahngi padi
zikr-e-qahat-e-rang se pahle hi tale pad gae
har lab-e-taswir ko jumbish bahut mahngi padi


tund-khu maujon ne 'sajid' chand sahil kha liye
bahr-e-shab mein amn ki koshish bahut mahngi padi
