Four Lines Poetry

Husn jab meherbaan ho to kya kijiye,
Ishq ki maghfirat ki duaa kijiye,

Zindagi katt rahi hai barre chain se,
Aur gham hon to woh bhi ataa kijiye..

Jaate huye woh jeene ka imkaan le geya,
Be-jaan reh gayi woh meri jaan le geya,

An-dekhii berriyaan hain faqat mere paaon main,
Yuun qaid kar geya hai ke zindaan le geya..

Ab bhi uk umar pe jeene ka na andaz aya,
Zindagi chorr de peecha mera main baaz aya,

Peete peete teri ik umar katti us pr bhi,
Peene wale tujhe peene ka na andaz aya..

Har kahin dastyaab thorri hai,
Ishq jaam-e-sharab thorri hai,

Kya bacha kya lutta yeh kya sochen,
Pyaar koi hisaab thorri hai..

Tum barri dair baad laute ho,
Dard kaafuur ho gaye ab to,

Kuch zaroorat nahin hai marham ki,
Zakham naasuur ho gaye ab to..

Shokhiyaan chorr di us ne abb ke,
Har rang main udaasi ghulti ja rahi hai,

Uss roothne wale se kaho dekh le aa kar,
Woh paagal larrki ab sudharti jaa rahi hai..

Iqraar kar geya kabhi inkaar kar geya,
Har baat ik azaab se dochaar kar geya,

Rasta badal ke bhi dekha magar woh shakss,
Dil main utar ke saari hadhain paar kar geya..

Mat pooch sabar ki intihaa kahan tak hai,
Tu sitam kar le teri taaqat jahan tak hai,

Wafaa ki umeed kissi aur ko ho gi,
Humen to dekhna hai tu bewafa kahan tak hai..

Sab kuch hai paas lekin kuch bhi nahi raha,
Uss ki hi justujuu thi wohi nahin raha,

Kehta tha ik pall na rahoon ga tere baghair.
Hum dono reh gaye, woh vaada nahin raha..

Barff aisi ke pighalti nahin paani ban kar,
Pyaas aisi ke bujhaatey huye thak jaata hoon,

Achi lagti nahin iss darjaa shanasaayi* bhi,
Haath haathon se milaatey huye thak jaata hoon..

(shanasaayi:knowing someone, meeting, milna milaana)
