[HarshBhatt]

MaiN pal do pal ka shayar hooN, pal do pal meri kahaani hai
pal do pal meri hasti hai, pal do pal meri jawaani hai




Duniya ne tajrubaat-o-hawaadis ki shakl meiN
jo kuchh mujhe diya hai woh lauTa raha hooN maiN

[HarshBhatt]

Naakaami



maiN ne har chand gham-e-ishq ko khona chaahaa
gham-e-ulfat , gham-e-duniyaa meiN samonaa chaahaa

vahii afsaane mirii samt ravaaN haiN ab tak
vahii sho’ole mire seene meiN nihaaN haiN ab tak
vahii besood Khalish hai mire seene meiN hanoz
vahii bekaar tamannayeiN javaaN haiN ab tak
vahii gesuu mirii raatoN pe haiN bikhre bikhre
vahii aaNkheiN merii jaanib nigraaN haiN ab tak
kasrat-e-gham bhi mere gham ka mudaavaa na hua
mere bechain KhayaaloN ko sakuuN mil na sakaa
dil ne duniyaa ke har ik dard ko apnaa to liyaa
muzmahil rooH ko andaaz-e-juNuuN mil na sakaa

merii takh’eel kaa sheraazaa-e-barham hai vahii
mere bujhte hue ahsaas kaa aalam hai vahii
vahii be-jaan iraade vahii be-raNg savaal
vahii be-rooh kasha-kash, vahii be-chain Khayaal

maiN bhii naakaam, mirii saii-e-amal bhii naakaam
