Mehfil-e-Sukhan

yaad bhi un ki ham-safar na hu’ii
aur du’aa BHI TO KAAR-GAR na hu’ii

esey uljhey terey jhameiloN main
zindagi tujh ko bhi khabar na huii

qissa-e-dard jaante the sabhi
be.khabar ! bas tujhe khabar na houi

umr bhar uljhanon ko suljhaaya
do ghari chein sey basar nah houi

khavaahishein to hazaar thiin lekin
aik bhi poori umr bhar na hui

her gharee deep hum jalaatey rahey
per khushi ki kabhi saHar na houi

baat mushoor hey sayaanoN main
aashiyaaN baste hain zamaanoN main

jis ke charche the aasmaanoN meiN
ab kahaaN josh voh javaanoN meiN

log kehte haiN saNg-dil jis ko
ab hey wo apne meherbaanoN main

shaa’id eemaan dil meiN jaaga hai
“ik sadaa aarahi hey kaanoN main”

tujh se mansoob mirii KhushiyaaN
tu hi shaamil mire bayaanoN main

Faatimah ab kahan wo mosam hey
phool khilte the gul.sitaanon main
