nazren milin na apni kabhi guftugu hui

nazren milin na apni kabhi guftugu hui
kahne ko roz duniya mere ru-ba-ru hui
yun hi nahin bana hai tasawwur mein tera aks
barson tujhe tarasha hai tab ja ke tu hui


pahle pahal to chalte rahe be-niyaz hum
thakne lage to manzilon ki justuju hui
ek din darakht-e-dil ko mere chhu gaya koi
barson ke baad shakh-e-tamanna numu hui


pahli dafa hue hain in aankhon se ham-kalam
itne adab se pahle kahan guftugu hui
socha to hum ne tujh ko kai bar tha magar
ek umr baad hum ko teri aarzu hui
