  • Ghazal


kitni shiddat se tujhe chaha tha


kitnī shiddat se tujhe chāhā thā
kabhī kuchh aur nahīñ sochā thā

kho.e the aise tirī chāhat meñ
TuuT ke abr-e-junūñ barsā thā

merī har soch meñ thī terī hī soch
merā har lamha tirā lamha thā

jab bhī paḌte the ḳhayāloñ ke bhañvar
terā chehra hī ubhar aatā thā

un dinoñ jism kī rag rag meñ ravāñ
ḳhuuñ kahāñ ḳhvāhishoñ kā dariyā thā

yaad hai aaj bhī sāñsoñ kī mahak
vaqt apne liye ruk jaatā thā

jab chamaktā thā badan kā sūraj
dhuup ban kar maiñ bikhar jaatā thā

TuuT jaatā thā zamānoñ kā sukūt
daf.atan shaam ko phone aatā thā

rañg-e-pairāhan-e-ehsās thī tū
maiñ nigāh-e-talab-e-tishna thā

tū nasīm-e-sahar mausam-e-gul
maiñ ki ik TuuTā huā pattā thā

reza reza huā qasr-e-pindār
be-tarah zor-e-badan TuuTā thā

vaar dī aaj tire dar pe anā
bojh sadiyoñ se uThā rakkhā thā

rāheñ bāñheñ to darīche āñkheñ
ye tirā shahr bhī tujh jaisā thā

umr-bhar apne hī sho.aloñ meñ jalā
maiñ ki sūraj kī tarah tanhā thā

garm haiñ rañg ke bāzār yahāñ
itnā sannāTā kahāñ hotā thā

paañv nīche se zamīñ bhī niklī
maiñ ḳhalāoñ kī taraf lapkā thā

sub.h kī tarah vo be-rañg hai ab
'shām' kī tarah jise chāhā thā

kitni shiddat se tujhe chaha tha
kabhi kuchh aur nahin socha tha

khoe the aise teri chahat mein
TuT ke abr-e-junun barsa tha

meri har soch mein thi teri hi soch
mera har lamha tera lamha tha

jab bhi paDte the KHayalon ke bhanwar
tera chehra hi ubhar aata tha

un dinon jism ki rag rag mein rawan
KHun kahan KHwahishon ka dariya tha

yaad hai aaj bhi sanson ki mahak
waqt apne liye ruk jata tha

jab chamakta tha badan ka suraj
dhup ban kar main bikhar jata tha

TuT jata tha zamanon ka sukut
dafatan sham ko phone aata tha

rang-e-pairahan-e-ehsas thi tu
main nigah-e-talab-e-tishna tha

tu nasim-e-sahar mausam-e-gul
main ki ek TuTa hua patta tha

reza reza hua qasr-e-pindar
be-tarah zor-e-badan TuTa tha

war di aaj tere dar pe ana
bojh sadiyon se uTha rakkha tha

rahen banhen to dariche aankhen
ye tera shahr bhi tujh jaisa tha

umr-bhar apne hi shoalon mein jala
main ki suraj ki tarah tanha tha

garm hain rang ke bazar yahan
itna sannaTa kahan hota tha

panw niche se zamin bhi nikli
main KHalaon ki taraf lapka tha

subh ki tarah wo be-rang hai ab
'sham' ki tarah jise chaha tha
