[waheed ahmed]

shouq-e-raqs se jab tak ungliyaaN nahii khulteeN
PaaouN se hawaa,ouN kii BaDDhyaaN nahii khulteeN

PaiDh ko duaa de ker kat gaii baharouN se
phool itne BarH aaye haiN khiDDkyaaN nahi khulteeN

Phool ben kii sairouN maiN aur kon shamil thaa
shoukhi-e-sabaa se tu baalyaaN nahii khulteeN

Husn ko samjhne ko Umer chaahye JaaNaaN
Do ghaDDi kii chahat maiN larDkyaaN nahi khulteeN

Koii moja-e-sheereeN choom ker jagaaye gii
soorjouN ke naizouN se siipyaaN nahii khulteeN

MaaN se kiaa kahaiN ge dukh Hijar kaa, ke khoud per bhii
itnii chotii umer kii bach.chyaaN nahii khulteeN

Shaakh shaakh ser ger daaN ,kis kii justajoo maiN he
kon se safar maiN haiN titlyaaN nahii khulteeN

Aadhi raat kii chup maiN kis ki chaap ubherti he
Chett pe kon aataa he seerDhyaaN nahii khulteeN

PaanyouN ke cherH.ne tak, haal keh sakaiN aur phir
kiaa qyaamtaiN guzreeN, bastiiyaaN nahi khulteeN


Perveen Shakir
