Blue-Saints-Poemz: June 2011

Bila jawaz rakhen khud ko beqaraar bhi kyun

Jo tu nahee hai to phir tera intezaar bhi kyun

Akelepan ka safar jab mera muqaddar hai

To phir ai waada shikan teri rehguzaar bhi kyun

Usey ganwa ke raho ab khizaon ki zad mai

Jo wo nahee hai to phir mausam-e-bahar bhi kyun

Agar bhulaye huye usko aik umr hui

To phir yeh aaj tabiyet hai sogwaar bhi kyun

Wo jin labon pe yaqeene wafa mehek na sakey

Phir unke lams ki khahish ho aik baar bhi kyun

Jab usko shauq tha raston ki dhool honey ka

Palat ke dekhta jaata tha baar baar bhi kyun

aag ho to jalane me.n der kitanii lagatii hai

barf ke pighalane me.n der kitanii lagatii hai
