اب کے تجدید وفا کا نہیں امکاں جاناں — احمد فراز

Ab ke tajdeed-e-wafa ka nahin imkaan jaanan

Ab ke tajdeed-e-wafa ka nahin imkaan jaanan
Yaad kya tujh ko dilayein tera paimaan jaanan
Yun hi mausam ki ada dekh ke yaad aaya hai
Kis qadar jald badal jaate hain insaan jaanan
Zindagi teri ata thi so tere naam ki hai
Humne jaise bhi basar ki tera ehsaan jaanan
Dil yeh kehta hai ke shayad hai fasurda tu bhi
Dil ki kya baat karein dil to hai nadaan jaanan
Awwal awwal ki mohabbat ke nashe yaad to kar
Be piye bhi tera chehra tha gulistaan jaanan
Aakhir aakhir to yeh aalam hai ke ab hosh nahin
Rag-e-meena sulag uthi ke rag-e-jaan jaanan
Muddaton se yehi aalam na tawaqqo na umeed
Dil pukaare hi chala jaata hai jaanan jaanan
Hum bhi kya saada the humne bhi samajh rakha tha
Gham-e-dauraan se juda hai gham-e-jaanan jaanan
Ab ke kuch aisi saji mehfil-e-yaaraan jaanan
Sar ba zaanu hai koi sar ba garebaan jaanan
Har koi apni hi aawaz se kaanp uthta hai
Har koi apne hi saaye se haraasaan jaanan
Jis ko dekho wohi zanjeer ba paa lagta hai
Shehr ka shehr hua daakhil-e-zindaan jaanan
Ab tera zikr bhi shayad hi ghazal mein aaye
Aur se aur hue dard ke unwaan jaanan
Hum ke roothi hui rut ko bhi mana lete the
Humne dekha hi na tha mausam-e-hijraan jaanan
Hosh aaya to sabhi khwab the reza reza
Jaise udte hue auraaq-e-pareshaan jaanan
