Marney se bhi pehle mar gaye they..

Parveen Shakir Poetry

Marney se bhi pehle mar gaye they,
Jeeney se kuch aese dar gaye they,

Rastey mein jahan talak diye they,
Saarey mere hamsafar gaye they,

Aankhain abhi khul nahin saki thi’n,
Aur khawb mere bikhar gaye they,

Jab tak na khila tha us ka waada,
Mausam mere be’samar gaye they,

Ab tak wohhi nasha e paziraayi*,
Kya jaaniye hum kidhar gaye they..

Parveen Shakir Poetry

Rasta hi neya hai, na main anjaan bohat hoon,
Phir kuye’malaamat mein hoon, nadaan bohat hoon,

Ik umar jisey khawab ki manind hi dekha,
Chooney ko mila hai to pareshaan bohat hoon,

Mujh mein kabhi aahat ki tarah se koi aye,
Ik band gali ki tarah sunsaan bohat hoon,

Uljhen ke keyi baar abhi lafz se mafhoom,
Saada hai bohat woh, na main asaan bohat hoon..

Ab Kaisi Pardah-Daari , Khabar Aam Ho Chuki

Parveen Shakir Poetry

Ab Kaisi Pardah-Daari , Khabar Aam Ho Chuki
Maa Ki Rida Tou, Din Howe, Neelaam Ho Chuki

Ab Aasmaa.n Se Chadar-e Shab Aaye Bhi Tou Kiya
Be-Chadari Zameen Pe iLzaam Ho Chuki

Ujrey Howe Diyaar Pe Phir Kiun Nigah Hai
Is Kasht Per Tou Barish-e-Ikraam Ho Chuki

Sooraj Bhi Os Ko Dhoond Ke Wapas Chala Gaya
Ab Ham Bhi Ghar Ko Lout Chalain Shaam Ho Chuki

Shimley Sambhaaltey Hee Rahay Maslehat Pasand
Hona Tha Jis Ko Pyaar Main Bad-Naam Ho Chuki

Aankhain Hain Aur Subha Talak Tera Intezaar
Mishal Bad’dast Raat Terey Naam Ho Chuki

Koh-e-Nida Se Bhi Sukhan Utrey Agar, Tou Kiya
Na-Sameoo.n Main Hurmat-e-iLhaam Ho Chuki

Wo Aks-e-Mauja-e-Gul Tha, Chaman Chaman Mein Raha

Parveen Shakir Poetry

Wo Aks-e-Mauja-e-Gul Tha, Chaman Chaman Mein Raha
Wo Rang Rang Mein Utraa, Kiran Kiran Mein Raha

Wo Naam Haasil-e-Fun Ho Ke Mere Fun Mein Raha
Ke Rooh Ban Ke Meri Soch Ke Badan Mein Raha

Sakoon-e-Dil Ke Lye Mein Kahan Kahan Na Gayi
Magar Ye Dil, Ke Sadaa Oski Anjuman Mein Raha

Wo Sheher Waalon Ke Aagay Kaheen Mohazzib Tha
Wo Ek Shakhs Jo Sheheron Se Door Ban Mein Raha

Charaagh Bujhtay Rahay Aur Khwaab Jaltay Rahay
Ajeeb Tarz Ka Mausam Mere Watan Mein Raha

Ab Bhala Chorh Ke Ghar Kia Kartay

Parveen Shakir Poetry

Ab Bhala Chorh Ke Ghar Kia Kartay
Shaam Ke Waqt Safar Kia Kartay

Teri Masroofiatain Jaantay Hain
Apne Aanay Ki Khabar Kia Kartay

Jab Sitaaray Hee Nahi Mil Paaye
Le Ke Ham Shams-o-Qamar Kia Kartay

Wo Musaafir Hee Khuli Dhoop Ka Tha
Saaye Phaila Ke Shajar Kia Kartay

Khaak Hee Awwal-o-Aakhir Thehri
Kar Ke Zarray Ko Gohar Kia Kartay

Raaye Phele Se Bana Li TU Ne
Dil Mein Ab Ham Tere Ghar Kia Kartay

Ishq Ne Saaray Saleeqay Bakhshay
Husn Se Kasb-e-Hunar Kia Kartay

.Aankhon mein sawaal they hazaaron..

Parveen Shakir Poetry

Ik umar ke baad us ko dekha,
Aankhon mein sawaal they hazaaron,
Honton pe magar wohi tabasum,
Chehrey pe likhi huyi udaasi,
Lehjey mein magar balaa ka thehrao,
Awaaz main goonjti judai,
Baanhen thi magar wisaal-e-samaan,

Simtti huyi baazuyon mein,
Taa’der mein sochti rahi thi,
Kis abr-e-gurez paa ki tarah,
Main kis shajar se katt gayi thi,
Kis chaaon ko tark kar diya tha,

Main us ke galey lagi huyi thi,
Woh ponchh raha tha mere aansu,
Lekin barri dair ho chuki thi..

Ab aur jeeney ki surat nazar nahin ati..

Parveen Shakir Poetry

Ab aur jeeney ki surat nazar nahin ati,
Kisi tarah bhi achi khabar nazar nahin ati,

Ussi ke aas main hai dil ka hujraa tareek,
Woh roshni jo kabhi mere ghar mein nahin ati,

Woh meherbaan hai to mehraab-o-baam tak na rahe,
Yeh dhoop kyon pas-ey dar o deewar nahin ati,

Hayaat mein ab koi aesa morr nahin,
Ke jis ke baad teri rahguzar nazar nahin ati,

Qabooliyat ki hai gharri to us ko maang hi loon,
Ke yeh gharri kabhi baar-e-dagar nahin ati,

Saraaye khaana dunyiyaa main shaam hoti hai,
Musaafiron ko naveed-e-safar nazar nahin ati..

Khuli aankhon mein sapna jhaankta hai..

Parveen Shakir Poetry

Khuli aankhon mein sapna jhaankta hai,
Woh soya hai ke kuch kuch jaagta hai,

Tere chahat ke bheegey junglon mein,
Mera tan man mor ban kar nachta hai,

Mujhe har kefiyat mein kyon na samjhey,
Woh mere sab hawaaley jaanta hai,

Main uss ki dastrass main hoon magar woh,
Mujhe meri razaa se mangta hai,

Kissi ke dheyaan main dooba hua dil,
Bahaaney se mujhe bhi taalta hai,

Sarrak ko chorr kar chalna parega,
Ke mere ghar ka kacchaa rasta hai..

Parveen Shakir Poetry

Jagaa Sakey Na Terey Lub, Lakeer Aisi Thi

Kutar K Jaal Bhi Sayyad Ki Raza Ke Baghair
Tamaam Um’r Na Urti Aseer Aisi Thi

Phir Us Ke Baad Na Dekhey Visaal Ke Mausam
Judaiyo.n Ki Ghari Chashm Geer Aisi Thi

Bas Ik Nigah Mujhe Dekhta, Chala Jata
Us Aadmi Ki Mohabbat Faqeer Aisi thi

Rida K Saath Luterey Ko Zaad-e Raah Diya
Teri Firagh Dili Merey Veer Aisi Thi

Kabhi Na Chahney Walo.n Ka Khoo.n Baha Manga
Nigaar-e-Sheher-e-Sukhan Be-Zameer Aisi Thi

Khushi ki baat hai ya dukh ka manzar..

Parveen Shakir Poetry

Khushi ki baat hai ya dukh ka manzar dekh sakti hoon,
Teri awaaz ka chehra main chuu kar dekh sakti hoon,

Abhi tere labon pe zikar fasl-e-gul nahin aya,
Magar ik phool khilte apne andar dekh sakti hoon,

Kinaara dhoondne ki chaah tak mujh mein nahin hogi,
Main apne gird aik aesa samandar dekh sakti hoon,

Vasaal-o-hijar apne yaksaa’n* hain, woh manzar hai chahat mein,
Main aankhain band kar ke tujh ko aksar dekh sakti hoon,

Abhi tere siwaa duniyaa bhi hai maujood is dil main,
Main khud ko kiss tarah tere baraabar dekh sakti hoon..

Ab to tere pass agayi main,

Daaman tha tera ke mera maatha,
Jo daagh bhi they mittaa chuki main..

Manzar Hai Wohi Thathak Rahi Hun
Hairat Se Palak Jhapak Rahi Hun

Takhleeq-e-Jamaal-e-Fun Ka Lamha !
Kalyon Ki Tarah Chatakh Rahi Hun

Mausami Bel Thi Mein Sookh Gayi
Wo Tanaawar Darakht, Phalta Raha

Dil, Mere Tan Ka Phool Sa Bacha
Patharon Ke Nagar Mein Palta Raha

Neend Hee Neend Mein Khilonay Lye
Khwaab Hee Khwaab Mein Behelta Raha

Aaj Ki Raat Tere Saath Katay

Pooray Insaanon Mein Ghus Aayein Hain
Sar Katay, Jism Katay, Zaat Katay

Baali Ki Tarah Latak Raha Hai

Tamaam raat mere ghar ka aik dar khula raha

Parveen Shakir Poetry

Tamaam raat mere ghar ka aik dar khula raha,
Main raah dekhti rahi, woh rasta badal geya,

Woh sheher hai ke jadugarniyon ka koi des,
Wahan to jo geya kabhi laut kar na aasaka,

Main wajah-e-tark-e-dosti ko sun ke muskurayi to,
Woh chaunk utha, ajab nazar se mujh ko dekhne laga,

Bichar ke mujh se, halaq ko aziz ho geya hai tu,
Mujhe to jo koi mila, tujhi ko puchta raha,

Woh dilnawaaz lamhe bhi gayi ruton mein aye jab,
Main khawb dekhti rahi, woh mujh ko dekhta raha,

Woh jis ki ek pal ki be’rukhi bhi dil ko haar thi,
Usey khud apne hath se likha hai, mujhe bhool ja,

Damak raha hai aik chaand se jabee’n pe ab talak,
Gurez’paa mohabton ka koi pal theher geya..

Woh jab se sheher-e-harabaat ko rawaana hua..

Parveen Shakir Poetry

Woh jab se sheher-e-harabaat ko rawaana hua,
Barahe’raast mulaqaat ko zamana hua,

Woh sheher chorr ke jaana to kab ka chahta tha,
Yeh naukri ka bulawaa to ik bahaana hua,

Khudaa kare teri ankhain hamesha hansti rahain,
Yeh aankhain jin ko kabhi dukha ka hausla na hua,

Kinaar-e-sehen chaman sabz bail ke nechey,
Woh roz subah ka milna to ab fasaana hua,

Main sochti hoon ke mujh mein kami thi kis shayy ki,
Ke sab ka ho ke raha woh, bas ik mera na hua,

Kisey bulati hain aangan ki champayi shaakhain,
Ke woh ab apne naye ghar mein bhi purana hua,

Dhanak ke rang main saari to rang li hain mene,
Aur ab yeh dukh, ke pehen kar kise dikhana hua,

Main apne kaano’n main bele ke phool kyon na pehnoon,
Zabaan-e-rang se kiss ko mujhe bulana hua..

Teri Tasweer Ki Zebaayi Per

Rashk Aaya Hai Bohat Husn Ko Bhee

Khud Ko Khushbuu Ke Hawaalay Kar Dain
Phool Ki Tarz-e-Paziraayi Per

Ajab Nahee Hai Ke Dil Per Jami Masli Kaayi
Bohat Dinon Se Tou Ye Houz Saaf Bhee Na Howa

Humain Tou Tujh Se Kubhi Ikhtilaaf Bhee Na Howa

Jo Harf-E-Saada Ki Surat Hamesha Likhi Gai
Wo Larki Tere Liye Kis Tarah Paheli Huii ?

Jo Barish Dil Mein Hoti Hai Jo Dariya Dil Mein Behta Hai,

Mujhe Tujhse Juda Rakhta Hai Aur Dukh Tak Nahi Hota,
Mere Andar Tere Jaisa Ye Aakhir Kaun Rehta Hai ?

Khayal-E-Yaar Abhi Roshan, Abhi Nazron Se Ojhal Hai,
Abhi Ye Raishmee.n Dariya Pahadon Mein Hi Behta Hai…!

Kuch in ankhon mein bhi lahu hai bohat,

Peeney wali aankh hai darkaar,
Aankh ko chaand ka sabuu hai bohat..

Khud Se Niklay Tou Kisi Aur Ke Dar Mein Rehna

Sheher-e-Gham ! Dekh, Teri Aab-o-Hawaa Khushk Na Ho
Raas Aata Hai Ose Deeda-e-Tar Mein Rehna

Faislay Saaray Osi Ke Hain Hamaari Baabat
Ikhtiyaar Apna Bas Itna Ke Khabar Mein Rehna

Tootna Yun Tou Muqaddar Hai Magar Kuch Lamhay
Phool Ki Tarah Mayassar Ho Shajar Mein Rehna

Taayir-e-Jaan Ke Guzarnay Se Badaa Saaneha Hai
Shoq-e-Parwaaz Ka Tootay Howay Par Mein Rehna

Bajaa Ke Aankh Mein Neendon Ke Silsilay Bhee Nahee

Parveen Shakir Poetry

Bajaa Ke Aankh Mein Neendon Ke Silsilay Bhee Nahee
Shikast-e-Khwaab Ke Ab Mujh Mein Honslay Bhee Nahee

Nahee Nahee ! Ye Khabar Dushmanon Ne Di Hogi
Wo Aaye, Aa Ke Chalay Bhee Gaye ! Milay Bhee Nahee

Ye Kon Loog Andheron Ki Baat Kartay Hain ?
Abhee Tou Chaand Teri Yaad Ke Dhalay Bhee Nahee

Abhee Se Mere Raffugar Ke Haath Thaknay Lagay
Abhee Tou Chaak Mere Zakham Ke Silay Bhee Nahee

Khafaa Agarche Hamesha Howay Magar Ab Ke
Wo Barhami Hai Ke Hum Se Unhain Gilay Bhee Nahee

Gawahi Kaisay Toot’ti, Muamla Khuda Ka Tha..

Parveen Shakir Poetry

Gawahi Kaisay Toot’ti, Muamla Khuda Ka Tha,
Mera Aur Uska Rabta To Haath Aur Dua Ka Tha.

Gulab Qaimat-E-Shaguft, Shaam Tak Chuka Sakay,
Ada Wo Dhoop Ko Hua, Jo Qarz Bhi Saba Ka Tha.

Bikhar Gaya Hai Phool To Hum Hee Se Pooch Guchh Hui
Hisaab Baghbaan Se Hai Kia Dharaa Hawa Ka Tha,

Lahoo Chashida Hath Us Ne Choom Ker Dikha Dia,
Jaza Wahan Mili Jaha Marhala Saza Ka Tha,

Jo Barishon Se Kabal Apna Rizq Ghar Mein Bhar Chuka,
Woh Sheher e Moor Se Na Tha Door Bais Balaa Ka Tha..

Parveen Shakir Poetry

Aqs Khushbu Hun, Bikharnay Se Na Rokay Koi
Aur Bikhar Jaon Tou Mujhko Na Samaitay Koi

Kaanp Uthti Hun Mein Ye Soch Ke Tanhaayi Mein
Mere Chehray Pe Tera Naam Na Parh Le Koi

Jis Tarah Khwaab Mere Hogaye Raiza Raiza
Is Tarah Se Na Kabhi Toot Ke Bikhray Koi

Mein Tou Is Din Se Hiraasaan Hun Ke Jab Hukm Milay
Khushk Phoolon Ko Kitaabon Mein Na Rakhay Koi

Ab Tou Os Raah Se Wo Shaks Guzarta Bhee Nahee
Ab Kis Umeed Pe Darwaazay Se Jhaankay Koi?

Koi Aahat, Koi Aawaaz, Koi Chaap Nahee
Dil Ki Galyaan Badi Sunsaan Hain, Aaye Koi

Parveen Shakir Poetry

Charaagh-e-Raah Bujha Kia, Ke Rehnumaa Bhi Gaya
Hawa Ke Saath Musaafir Ka Naqsh-e-Paa Bhee Gaya

Mein Phool Chunti Rahee Aur Mujhe Khabar Na Howi
Wo Shakhs Aa Ke Mere Sheher Se Chala Bhee Gaya

Bohat Azeez Sahee Osko Meri Dildaari
Magar Ye Hai Ke Kubhi Dil Mera Dukha Bhee Gaya

Ab Un Dareechon Pe Gehray Dabaiz Parday Hain
Wo Taank Jhaank Ka Masoom Silsila Bhee Gaya

Sab Aaye Meri Ayaadat Ko, Wo Bhee Aaya Tha
Jo Sab Gaye Tou Mera Dard Aashna Bhee Gaya

Ye Ghurbatain Meri Aankhon Mein Kaisi Utri Hain ?
Ke Khwaab Bhee Mere Rukhsat Hain, Ratjaga Bhee Gaya…!

Kya Baat Hai Jis Ka Gham Bohat Hai ?
Kuch Din Se Yeh Aankh Nam Bohat Hai

Mil Leta Hai Guftugu Ki Had Tak
Itna Hee Tera Karam Bohat Hai

Dehleez Pe Ik Qadam Bohat Hai

Mil Jaye Agar Teri Rafaqat
Mujh Ko Tou Yehi Janam Bohat Hai

Kya Shab Se Humein Sawaal Karna ?
Hona Tera Subha Dam Bohat Hai

Kyon Bujhne Lage Chiraagh Mere ?
Ab Ke To Hawa Bhi Kam Bohat Hai

Chup Kyon Tujhe Lag Gayi Hai Parveen ?
Sunte They Ke Tujh Mein Ram Bohat Hai

Kuch Dair Ka Sokhta Na Tha Sheher
Ye Aath Peher Jala Howa Tha

Parwaaz Ka Itna Dar Qafas Mein
Tota Howa Par Jalaa Howa Tha

Manzil Thi Ghubaar-e-Raah Mein Guum
Aur Rakht-e-Safar Jalaa Howa Tha

Hawaa Chali To nai Baarishen Bhi Saath Aaien
Zameen Kay Chehre Pe Aaya Hai Nikhaar Ka Mosam,

Woh Mera Naam Liye Jaaye Aur Main Us Ka Naam
Lahu Mein Goojh Raha Hai Pukaar Ka Mosam,

Qadam Rakhe Meri Khusbu K Ghar Ko Laota Aaye
Koi Bataaye Mujhe Kowe Yaar Ka Mosam,

Woh Roz Aake Mujeh Apna Piyaar Pehnaye
Nera Garoor Hai Bele Kay Haar Ka Mosam

Tere Tareeq-e-Muhabbat Pe Baar Haa Socha
Yeh Jabar Tha Kay Tere Ikhtiyaar Ka Mosam.

Nazar Kay Saamne Bass Ek Samaan Guzarta Rahe,

Humaara Naam Kaheen To Likha Howa Hoga
Mah-o-Najoom Se Yeh Khakdaan Guzarta Rahe,

Main Tera Saath na De Paaon Pher Bhi Tera Safar
Gulaab-o-Khawab Kay Hi Darmiyaan Guzarta Rahe,

Main Tere Seene Pe Sarr Rakh Kar Waqt Bhool Gai
Khiyaal-e-Tezi Umar-e-Rawaan Guzarta Rahe.

Phir mere chehre ko haathon mein le ker
kitney pyar se mera maatha chooma tha!

Hawa! kuch aj ki shab ka ahwaal suna
kya woh apni chat per aj akela tha?

Ya koi mere jeisi saath thi, aur uss ne
chand ko dekh ke us ka chehra dekhaa tha?

Mujh pe ehsan hawa karti hai

Tere kahne main raha karti hai

Us ne dekha hi nahin warna ye ankh
Dil ka ehwal kaha karti hai

Kucha-e-jan main sada karti hai

Mujh se bhi us ka hai waisa hi suluk
Hal jo tera ana??? Karti hai

Bat kuch aur hua karti hai

Shakh to sirf dua karti hai

Faisala sirf hawa karti hai

koi dastoor hota hai

Suna hai jab kisi nadi k paani mainBue k ghonsle ka gandami saaya larazta hai

To nadi ki ro pehli machhilyaan us ko
Parosi maan leti hain,

Hava k taiz jhonke jab darakhton ko hilaate hain
To Meena apne ghar ko bhool ker

Ka?uve k andon ko paron main thaam leti hai
Suna hai Ghonsle se jab koi bacha gire to

Saara jangle jaag jaata hai.
Naddi main baar aa jaaye

Koi Pull toot jaaye
To kisi lakri k takhte per

Gulahri, Saanp, Cheeta aur Bakri
Saath hote hain.

Suna hai janglon ka bhi koi dastoor hota hai,
Khuda-wanda Jaleel-o Mu?atbar, Daana-o Beena Munsif-o Akber,

HUMARE SHAHAR MAIN AB,
JANGLON KA HI KOI DASTOOR NAAFIZ KER..!!

Masla phul ka hai

Parveen Shakir Poetry

wo to khushbu hai hawaon main bikhar jayega
masla phul ka hai phul kidhar jayega

ham to samjhe the k ek zakhm hai bhar jayega
kya khabar thi k rag-e-jan main utar jayega

wo hawaon ki tarah khanabajan phirta hai
ek jhonka hai jo ayega guzar jayega

wo jab ayega to phir us ki rafaqat k liye
mausam-e-gul mere angan main thahar jayega

akhir wo bhi kahin ret pe baithi hogi
tera ye pyar bhi dariya hai utar jayega

Ku-ba-ku phail gai bat

Parveen Shakir Poetry

ku-ba-ku phail gai bat shanasai ki
us ne khushbu ki tarah meri pazirai ki

kaise kah dun k mujhe chor diya hai us ne
bat to sach hai magar bat hai ruswai ki

wo kahin bhi gaya lauta to mere pas aya
bas yahi bat hai achi mere harjai ki

tera pahlu tere dil ki tarah abad rahe
tujh pe guzre na qayamat shab-e-tanhai ki

us ne jalti hui peshani pe jo hath rakha
ruh tak a gai tasir masihai ki

Mujh pe ehsan

Parveen Shakir Poetry

teri khushbu ka pata karti hai
mujh pe ehsan hawa karti hai

shab ki tanhai main ab to aksar
guftagu tujh se raha karti hai

dil ko us rah pe chalna hi nahin
jo mujhe tujh se juda karti hai

zindagi meri thi lekin ab to
tere kahne main raha karti hai

us ne dekha hi nahin warna ye ankh
dil ka ehwal kaha karti hai

beniyaz-e-kaf-e-dariya angusht
ret par nam likha karti hai

Qalam Main Sayahi

Parveen Shakir Poetry

?Kiun Rakhoon Main Apne Qalam Main Sayahi?!?
?Jab Koi Armaan Dil Main Machalta Hi Nahi?!?

?Na_Jane Kiun Sabhi Shak Karte Hain Mujh Par?!?
?Jab Sookha Gulab Meri Kitaabon Main Milta Hi Nahi?!?

?Kashish To Bohat Thi Mere Pyaar Main?!?
?Magar Kya Karoon Koi Pathar Dil Pighalta Hi Nahi.!

Agar Khuda Mile To Us Se Apna Pyaar Mangoon Ga.!
?Par Suna Hai Wo Marne Se Pehle Kisi Se Milta Nahi?

Zakhum-E-Jigar

Parveen Shakir Poetry

Dard Kia Hota Hai Batayein Gay Kisi Roz
Kamal Ki Ghazal Tum Ko Sunayein Gay Kisi Roz

Thi Un Ki Zid K Main Jaaoun Un Ko Manane
Mujh Ko Ye Veham Tha Wo Bulayein Gay Kisi Roz
…
Kabi B Maine To Socha B Nahi Tha
Wo Itna Mere Dil Ko Dukhayein Gay Kisi Roz

Har Roz Sheshay Se Yehi Poochta Hoon Main
Kia Rukh Pe Tabassum Sajayein Gay Kisi Roz

Urney Do In Parindon Ko Azaad Fizaon Mein
Tumhare Hon Agar To Lout Aayein Gay Kisi Roz

Apne Sitam Ko Dekh Lena Khud Hi Saqi Tum
Zakhum-E-Jigar Tumko Dekhein Gay Kisi Roz

Gham-e-jaana k chalan

Parveen Shakir Poetry

Gham-e-dauran’ ne bhi seekhey Gham-e-jaana k chalan
wohi sochi hui chalein’ wohi besaKhtapan

wohi iqrar mein inkaar k lakhon’ pehlu
wohi hon’ton’ pe tabassum wohi abaru pe shikan

kis ko dekhaa hai k pindaar-e-nazar ke baavasaf
ek lamhe ke liye ruk gai dil ki dharkan

kaun si fasl mein is baar mile hein tujh se
ham ko parvaah-e-gireban’ hey na fikr-e-daman

ab to chubhati hai hava barf ke maidaano ki
un dino jism ke ehasas se jalata tha badan

Nibhao bhi

Parveen Shakir Poetry

vo ehad, ehad hi kya jise nibhao bhi
hamaare vadaa-e-ulfat ko bhul jaao bhi

bhala kaha ke ham aise gumaan valey hein
hazar baar ham aaye hamein bulaao bhi

bigar chala hai bahut rasm-e-Khud_kushi ka chalan
Daraane valo kisi roz kar dikhao bhi

tumhari neend mey Dubi hui aankho ki qasam
hamin ye zid hai k jaago bhi aur jagaao bhi

Dil Me Utar Ke

Parveen Shakir Poetry

Tum Sey Kitna Pyar hai Dil Me Utar Ke Dekh Lo
Na Yaqeen Aaye To Phir Dil Badal Ke Dekh Lo

Hum Ne Apni Har Saanss Per Naam Tera Likh Dia
Ek Tujhe Paane Ki Khatir Khud Ko Pagal Kar Dia

Ishq Me Tum Bhi Sanam Hadh Se Guzar Ke Dekh Lo
Tum Sey Kitna Pyar Hai Dil Me Utar Ke Dekh Lo

Jaane Kyun Saare Jahaan Se Ho Gayi Bekhabar
Jab Se Tum Ankhoon Me Aaye Jaagti Hai Ye Nazar

Apny Ratoon Se Meri Ratein Badal Ke Dekh Lo
Tum Sey Kitna Pyar Hai Dil Me Utar Ke Dekh Lo
