Ek Sunehra Daur- Nasir Kazmi

dil dhaDakane kaa sabab yaad aayaa

vo terii yaad thii ab yaad aayaa

aaj mushkil thaa sambhalanaa ai dost

tuu musiibat men ajab yaad aayaa

din guzaaraa thaa baDii mushkil se

phir teraa vaadaa-e-shab yaad aayaa

teraa bhuulaa huaa paimaan-e-vafaa

mar rahenge agar ab yaad aayaa

phir ka_ii log nazar se guzare

phir ko_ii shahar-e-tarab yaad aayaa

haal-e-dil ham bhii sunaate lekin

jab vo ruKhsat hue tab yaad aayaa

baiTh kar saayaa-e-gul men 'Nasir'

ham bahut roye vo jab yaad aayaa

tere Khayaal se lau de uThii hai tanhaaii

shab-e-firaaq hai yaa terii jalvaa-aaraaii

tuu kis Khayaal men hai ai manzilon ke shaadaaii

unhen bhii dekh jinhen raaste men niind aaii

pukaar ai jaras-e-kaaravaan-e-subah-e-tarab

bhaTak rahe hain aNdheron men tere saudaaii

rah-e-hayaat men kuchh marhale to dekh liye

ye aur baat terii aarazuu na raas aaii

ye saanihaa bhii muhabbat men baarahaa guzaraa

ki us ne haal bhii puuchhaa to aaNkh bhar aaii

phir us kii yaad men dil beqaraar hai 'Nasir'

bichhaD ke jis se hu_ii shahar shahar rusavaaii

vo dil navaaz hai nazar shanaas nahiin

meraa ilaaj mere chaaraagar ke paas nahiin

taDap rahe hain zabaaN par kaii savaal magar

mere liye koii shayaan-e-iltamaas nahiin

tere ujaalon men bhii dil kaaNp kaaNp uThataa hai

mere mizaaj ko aasuudagii bhii raas nahiiN

kabhii kabhii jo tere qurb me.n guzare the

ab un dinon kaa tasavvur bhii mere paas nahiin

guzar rahe hain ajab marhalon se diidaa-o-dil

sahar kii aas to hai zindagii kii aas nahiin

mujhe ye Dar hai ki terii aarazuu na miT jaaye

bahut dinon se tabiiyat merii udaas nahiin

niiyat-e-shauq bhar na jaaye kahiin

tuu bhii dil se utar na jaaye kahiin

aaj dekhaa hai tujhe der ke baad

aaj kaa din guzar na jaaye kahiin

na milaa kar udaas logon se

husn teraa bikhar na jaaye kahiin

aarazuu hai ke tuu yahaaN aaye

aur phir umr bhar na jaaye kahiin

jii jalaataa huuN aur ye sochataa huuN

raayegaaN ye hunar na jaaye kahiin

aao kuchh der ro hii len 'Nasir'

phir ye dariyaa utar na jaaye kahiin

dayaar-e-dil kii raat men chiraaG saa jalaa gayaa

milaa nahiin to kyaa huaa vo shaql to dikhaa gayaa

judaa_ion ke zaKhm dard-e-zindagii ne bhar diye

tujhe bhi niind aa gaii mujhe bhii sabr aa gayaa

ye subah kii safediyaaN ye dopahar kii zardiyaaN

ab aa_iine men deKhataa huuN main kahaaN chalaa gayaa

pukaratii hain fursaten kahaaN gaii vo sohabaten

zamiin nigal gaii unhen yaa aasamaan khaa gayaa

vo dostii to Khair ab nasiib-e-dushmanaaN huii

vo chhoTii chhoTii ranjishon kaa lutf bhii chalaa gayaa

ye kis Khushii kii ret par Gamon ko niind aa gaii

vo lahar kis taraf gaii ye main kahaaN samaa gayaa

gaye dinon kii laash par paDe rahoge kab talak

uTho amal_kashon uTho ki aafataab sar pe aa gayaa

girifta-dil hain bahut aj tere diwane
Khuda kare koi tere siwa na pahchane

miti miti si ummiden thak thak se khayal
bujhe bujhe se nigahon main gam k afsane

hazar shukr k ham ne zuban se kuch na kaha
ye aur bat k pucha na ahal-e-duniya ne

baqadr-e-tashnalabi pursish-e-wafa na hui
chalak k rah gaye teri nazar k paimane

khayal a gaya mayus rahguzaron ka
palat k a gaye manzil se tere diwane

kahan hai tu k tere intazar main ai dost
tamam rat sulagate rahe dil k wirane

ummid-e-pursish-e-gam kis se kijiye 'Nasir'
jo mere dil pe guzarti hai koi kya jane

kuchh to ehasaas-e-ziyaaN thaa pahale
dil kaa ye haal kahaaN thaa pahale

ab to manzil bhii hai Khud garm-e-safar
har qadam sang-e-nishaa.N thaa pahale

safar-e-shauq ke far_sang na puuchh
vaqt beqaid-e-makaaN thaa pahale

ye alag baat ki Gam raas hai ab
is men andeshaa-e-jaaN thaa pahale

yuuN na ghabaraaye huye phirate the
dil ajab kunj-e-amaaN thaa pahale

ab bhii tuu paas nahiin hai lekin
is qadar duur kahaaN thaa pahale

Dere Daale hain bagolon ne jahaaN
us taraf chashm-e-ravaa.N thaa pahale

ab vo dariyaa na bastii na vo log
kyaa Khabar kaun kahaaN thaa pahale

har Kharaabaa ye sadaa detaa hai
main bhii aabaad makaaN thaa pahale

kyaa se kyaa ho gaii duniyaa pyaare
tuu vahiin par hai jahaaN thaa pahale

ham ne aabaad kiyaa mulk-e-suKhan
kaisaa sun_saan samaaN thaa pahale

ham ne baKhshii hai Khamoshii ko zubaaN
dard majabuur-e-fuGaaN thaa pahale

ham ne roshan kiyaa maamuur-e-Gam
varnaa har simt dhuaaN thaa pahale

Gam ne phir dil ko jagaayaa 'Nasir'
Khaanaa_barbaad kahaa.N thaa pahale

Shab bhar tumhari yaad ne sone nahi diya

Aankhon mein aa ke beith gai ashkon ki lehar
Palkon pe koi khwab pirone nahi diya

Dil ko tumhare naam ke aansoo aziz the
Dunia ka koi dard samone nahi diya

Nasir yun us ki yaad chali haath thaam ke
Meile mein is jahan ke khone nahi diya
