Ahmed Faraz

badan me.n aag sii cheharaa gulaab jaisaaa hai
ke zahar-e-Gam kaa nashaa bhii sharaab jaisaa hai

kahaa.N vo qurb ke ab to ye haal hai jaise
tere firaaq kaa aalam bhii Khvaab jaisaa hai

magar kabhii ko_ii dekhe ko_ii pa.Dhe to sahii
dil aa_iinaa hai to cheharaa kitaab jaisaa hai

vo saamane hai magar tishnagii nahii.n jaatii
ye kyaa sitam hai ke dariyaa saraab jaisaa hai

[tishnagii=thirst, saraab=illusion/mirage ]

'Faraz' sang-e-malaamat se zaKhm zaKhm sahii
