Awais Poetry
 

iss shehar mein aysi bhi qayamt na hoi thi

iss shehar mein aysi bhi qayamt na hoi thi
tanha thy magar, khud se to vehshat na hoi thi

yeh din hy k, yaro’N ka bharosa bhi nahe hy
wo din thy k, dushman se bhi nafrat na hoi thi

ab saans ka ehsas bhi ik baar-e-gira’N hy
khud apne khilaaf aesi baghavat na hoi thi

ujray huay iss dil k har ik zakhm se poocho
iss shehr mein kis kis se muhabbat na hoi thi?

ab tery qareeb aa k bhi, kuch soch raha hoon
pehly tujhy kho kar bhi, nadamat na hoi thi

khawabo’N ke hawa raas thi jab tak mujhy Mohsin
yoo’n jaagty rehna meri aadat na hoi thi
