Kya Kya Sawaal Meri Nazar Poochhti Rahi

Kya kya sawaal meri nazar poochhti rahi,
Lekin wo aankh thi ke barabar jhuki rahi..

Mele mein ye nigaah tujhe dhundhti rahi,
Har mah-jabeen se tera pata poochhti rahi..

Jaate hain na-muraad tere aastaan se hum,
Ai dost phir milenge agar zindagi rahi..

Aankhon mein tere husn ke jalwe base rahe,
Dil mein tere khyaal ki basti basi rahi..

Ek hashr tha ke dil mein musalsal bapa raha,
Ek aag thi ke dil mein barabar lagi rahi.. 

Main tha kisi ki yaad thi jaam-e-sharaab tha,
Ye wo nashist thi jo sahar tak jami rahi..

Shaam-e-wida-e-dost ka aalam na poochhiye,
Dil ro raha tha lab pe hansi khelti rahi..

Khul kar mila na jaam hi us ne koi liya,
'Rahbar' mere khuloos mein shayad kami rahi.!!
