WADA****

Fir dard ko seene mein dabane ki koshish,
Nam aankhon ne fir ki muskuraane ki koshish.

Hai dushmanon ko khabar dil ke har kone ki,
Daag-e-dil doston se hai chupaane ki koshish.

Kab ishq apni aadaton se baaz aayega,
Fir raakh huye dil ko hai jalaane ki koshish.

Har sher, har ghazal, kuch aur nahin jaana,
Hai tumko apna haal-e-dil bataane ki koshish.

Fir aaye nahin wo, tab bhi, ye maanta hai dil
Ki usne thi kari, vaada nibhaane ki koshissh.

Tera khayal kahin zehan mein thaher sa gaya,
Kari hamne bahut tujhko bhulaane ki koshish.

Ja, ki ab tujhko fir sadaa na doonga main,
Bahut kari tujhko paas bulaane ki koshish.

Haar chuka hai kabse mera ishq is zamaane se,
Ab zamaana hi jaane kya hai zamaane ki koshish.

Kaifiyat uske naam ki zara bhi kam na hui,
Badi nakaam thi saki, tere maikhaane ki koshish.

Khayal-e-'sky' sey tujhey mitaane ki koshish,
Fir kari naya tassavvur banaane ki koshish.
