Har Lamhe Bus Pal Do Pal Ke

Jab us pari ne "Ruhaani si mehek" padha,
aur usne apni khushi ki jaahir,
Maine likh di phir kuch aur panktiyan,
kuch is tarah ban gayi woh meri prerna.

Pari hai ya hai woh ek sadharan insaan,
Dost to thi woh meri kabse, ab dost-e-khaas.
Yeh saara padhkar ho gayi woh bhi hairan,
Sochi, itne keemati hai uske yeh sab nishaan.

Lagi woh jhoomne, gaane, chikhne aur chillane,
Zameen kya falak tak bhi nahi the uske thikane.
Paro pe kaboo na raha, udd gayi door gagan main,
Fitoor tha yeh uska, le aayi bahaar chaman main.

Usne sikhaya kaise udte hain aasmaan main bin paro ke,
Aur ye bhi sikha maine ki kaise haste hai bin adharo ke.
Ashqon main bhi swaad hota hai jab girte hain gaalon pe,
Hamesha muskurate rehna, har lamhe bus pal do pal ke.

Tasavvur main hai woh, mere khwabon-khayalon main,
Khumari hai ab ya kuch iss tarah hi zindagi ki dagar hai.
Uth bhi jaye parda uski asliyat se to kuch khabar hai,
Uski woh baatein mere dil main ab shaam-o-seher hai.

Log puchte hain mujhse ki batao hai kaun yeh haseen pari,
Main kehta hoon sabse ki jaan jaoge aane do woh ghadi.
Rehne do parde main abhi, achi lag rahi hai woh chupi chupi,
Kya kaafi nahi hai itna, mere dil-e-nazar main hai woh basi.
