Taswir-e-KHyali, Urdu Nazam By Azeemuddin Ahmad

jab andhera hua har su hui KHilqat KHamosh
jab taqqul se gai chhuT hukumat ki inan
miT chala tha tere arman ka jab josh-o-KHarosh
sabr ka yas ne jab aan ke pakDa daman

gham ke bais hua jab misl-e-shab-e-tar dimagh
dil mein aur aql mein barpa hui jang-o-takrar
lahren lene laga jis waqt tamanna ka charagh
yas ka dew jab aa kar hua sine pe sawar

jeb-e-hasti ke uDa chahte hi the purze
us ghaDi qalb ke andar hui tu jalwa-numa
aisi chamki teri taswir-e-KHyali jaise
aasman par shab-e-tarik mein tanha tara

ai munawwar-kun-e-tariki-e-chashm-e-ashiq
ai mudawa-kun-e-alam-dil-e-hijr-nasib
ai ba-yak shoabada zail-kun-e-KHashm-e-ashiq
ai ba-zahir tu bahut dur magar dil se qarib

mehr-o-mah se hai mubarak kahin teri taswir
chhed saktin nahin badli ko shuaen un key
aisi zulmat ko miTa deti hai teri tanwir
jo miTae na miTe raushni ho koi si

aae tufan gire barq ki baadal barse
teri ulfat ka shajar Tal nahin sakta hai kabhi
zalzala aae zamin ko ki falak TuT paDe
par ye mumkin nahin ho teri mohabbat mein kami

han magar sun le tu ai husn ki mai se sarshaar
KHar-KHar-e-alam-e-hijr se hun saKHt hazin
yan ye sun le mere sarmast-e-ada KHush-guftar
ghulte ghulte tere gham mein hun main ab marg-qarin
