der lagi aane mein tum ko

Andleeb Shadani ...

der lagi aane mein tum ko, shukr hai phir bhi aaye to
aas ne dil kaa saath na chhodaa - vaise hum ghabraaye to

shafaq dhanak mahtaab ghataayen - taare nagmein bijli phuul
us daaman mein kya kya kuch hai - vo daaman haath mein aaye to

chaahat ke badle mein hum to bech den apni marzi tak
koi mile to dil kaa gaahak - koi humein apnaaye to

kyon ye mihrangez tabassum madd-e-nazar jab kuch bhi nahin
haaye agar koi anjaan agar - is dhoke mein aa jaaye to

suni sunaai baat nahin hai, apne upar beeti hai
phuul nikalte hain sholon se - chaahat aag lagaaye to

jhuuth hai sab taarikh humeshaa apne ko dohoraati hai
achhaa mera khvaab-e-javaani - thodaa saa doharaaye to

naadaani aur majburi mein yaaro kuch to farq karo
ek bebas insaan kare kya - tuut ke dil aa jaaye to

Beautiful ghazal. I have read it earlier, but loved to be reminded of it!
