shua-e-id

chand lamhat ki har sal chale aate hain
jaise sahra mein gulabon ki mahak aa jae
jaise zulmat mein ujalon ki khanak aa jae
jaise aa jae tasawwur mein koi zohra-jabin


jaise tarik fazaon mein sitaron ka jamal
jaise ek dard bhare dil mein masarrat ka khayal
jaise bichhde hue hamraaz ke milne ka yaqin
jaise talab ke sine pe khile koi kanwal


jaise ho nind ke raste mein koi khwab-mahal
jaise fankar ke takhil mein ek nafs hasin
jaise phulon ke labon par ho tabassum ki lakir
jaise ek din ko shahanshah faqir ibn-e-faqir


jaise aa jae sar-e-baam koi parda-nashin
jaise sangit pe naghmon ki sisakti lahren
jaise hon sham ke daman mein shafaq ki lahren
jaise be-rang fasane mein koi lafz-e-hasin


jaise peshani-e-mashriq pe ho subh-e-kazib
jaise tarik khalaon mein shahab-e-saqib
jaise bhule se chala aae koi dil ke qarin
kitni sadiyon se bahar-haal chale aate hain


chand lamhat jinhen id kaha jata hai
