 tum jo pal ko Thahar jaao to ye lamhe.n bhii
Faiz Ahmed Faiz 

tum jo pal ko Thahar jaao to ye lamhe.n bhii
aanevaale lamho.n kii amaanat ban jaaye.N
tum jo Thahar jaao to ye raat, mahataab
ye sabzaa, ye gulaab aur ham dono.n ke Khvaab
sab ke sab aise mubaham ho.n ki haqiiqat ho jaaye.N
tum Thahar jaao ki unavaan kii tafasiir ho tum
tum se talKhii-e-auqaat kaa mausam badale
raat to kyaa badalegii, haaalat to kyaa badale.nge
tum jo Thahar jaao to merii zaat kaa mausam badale
mahaarbaa.N ho ke na Thaharo to phir yuu.N Thaharo
jaise pal bhar ko ko_ii Khvaab-e-tamannaa Thahare
jaise daravesh-e-madaa-nosh ke pyaale me.n kabhii
ek do pal ke liye talKhii-e-duniyaa Thahare
Thahar jaao ke madaarat maikhaane se
chalate chalate ko_ii ek-aadh subuu ho jaaye
is se pahale ke ko_ii lamhaa aa_indaa ka tiir
is tarah aaye ke pevast-e-guluu ho jaaye

tum aaye ho na shab-e-intazaar guzarii hai

tum aaye ho na shab-e-intazaar guzarii hai

terii ummiid teraa i.ntazaar jab se hai
na shab ko din se shikaayat na din ko shab se hai
kisii kaa dard ho karate hai.n tere naam raqam
gilaa hai jo bhii kisii se terii sabab se hai
huaa hai jab se dil-e-naasabuur beqaabuu
kalaam tujhase nazar ko ba.Dii adab se hai
[naasabuur=impatient]
agar sharar hai to bha.Dake, jo phuul hai to khile
tarah tarah kii talab tere rang-e-lab se hai
kahaa.N gaye shab-e-furqat ke jaaganevaale
sitaaraa-e-sahar ham-kalaam kab se hai
