Kafan Na Dalo Mere Chehre Pe Mujhe Aadat Hai Muskurane Ki Na Quotes

Kafan na dalo mere chehre pe
mujhe aadat hai muskurane ki
na dafnaao meri laash ko
mujhe ab bhi umeed hai uske aane ki..

Na ghubar mein na gulab mein mujhe dekhna
mere dard kee aab-o-taab mein mujhe dekhna
kisi dhun mein tum bhee jo bastiyon ko tyag dou
isee rah-e-khana-e-kharaab mein mujhe dekhna..

- Azeez Jehan (Ada Jafri)
modern-age First Lady of Urdu Poetry

Doobne ko laazame nahi ho koi tondie toofan
ek halki mauj bhi dabo deti hae safeene aksar..

Mere khawabon ka har naqsh mita de koi
sookhe patton ka yeh dhair jala de koi
meri pehchaan ka ik shakhs is sheher mein hai rehta
main bhi zinda hun zara uss ko bata de koi..

Kya mazaa deti hai bijlee ki chamak mujhko Faraz
mujhse lipte hain mere naam se darne waale..

Aise zakhmon ka kya kare koi
jinko marham se aag lag jaye..

Rone se kya haasil kuch ae dil-e-sodaii
ashkon ki bhi barbadi daaman ki bhi ruswaii
hum log samandar ke bichhray hue saahil hain
is paar bhi tanhaii uss paar bhi tanhaii..
