Hazaaron Khwahishein Aisi”

By Muzammil Bari

Zulf ka baadal hataana chahta hoon

Chand ko jalwa dikhana chahta hoon

Zabt* apna aazmana chahta hoon (self-control)

Qurbaton* ka main bahana chahta hoon (nazdeekiyan)

Surq* anchal ko tere rukh* par gira kar (*red, **chehra) Phir wohi ghungat uthaana chahta hoon

Hosh neendein aur sukun apne lutakar

Ab teri neendein udaana chahta hoon

Khud ko tum na zindagi bhar dhund pao

Yun tumhe dil me chupana chahta hoon

Teri sau baaton ko aaj mankar main

Baat apni ek manaana chahta hoon

Haar jaaye maut bhi aage hamaare

Itna main nazdeek aana chahta hoon

Aazmaya aaj tak dil ne mujhe

Ab main dil ko azmaana chahta hoon

Waqt ki aahat bhi pahunche na jahan

Us jagah tum ko le jana chahta hoon

Phool jo sikhey baharon se adayein

Wo ada tumko sikhana chahta hoon

Tum miley duniya mili rub mil gaya

Ab zara main khud ko pana chahta hoon
