Raat Us Ne Bhi Jaag Ke Guzaari Thi..

Us ki aankhon ki surkhiyan de rahi hain pata,
Ke raat us ne bhi jaag ke guzaari thi,

Bistar ki silwatain bhi sunaa rahi hain daastan,
Ke hijar ki pehli raat us pe kis qadar bhaari thi,

Ab kaun karta hoga tere lab-o-rukhsaar ki tareef,
Hamare baad uljhi huyi zulf kis ne sanwaari thi,

Tu ne apna samajh ke ik baar maangi to hoti,
Jaan ki qasam, kya jaan humain jaan se pyar thi?

Daryaa ke do kinaron ki tarah sath chale per mil na sake,
Kuch woh bhi tha ana’aa parasst, kuch baghiyaana soch hamari thi,

Manzil to door na thi magar hausley qaayem na reh sake Waqas,
Kahin main thak gaya, kahin us ne himmat haari thi..
