Itne Bhi To Wo Khafa Nahi Thay Jaise Kabhi Aashna

 

Poet Ahmad Faraz

 

Itne Bhi To Wo Khafa Nahi Thay

Jaise Kabhi Aashna Nahi Thay,

Mana K Baham Kahan Thay Aise,

Par Youn Bhi Juda Juda Nahi Thay,

Thi Jitni Basat Ki Purastish,

Tum Bhi To Wo Koi Khuda Nahi Thay,

Had Hoti Hai Tanz Ki Bhi Aakhir,

Hum Tere Nahi Thay Ja Nahi Thay,

Kis Kis Se Nibhate Rafaqat,

Hum Log K Bewafa Nahi Thay,

Rukhsat Howa Wo To Main Ne Dekha,

Phool Itne Bhi Khush Numa Nahi Thay,

Thay Youn To Hum Us Ki Anjuman Mein,

Koi Humain Dekhta" Nahi Thay,

Jab Us Ko Tha MaaaN Khud Pe Kia Kia,

Tab Hum Bhi Faraz Kia Nahi Thay................!
