aarzoo luckhnavi ki shayyiri

zamanaa yaad tera ae dil-e-nakaam aata hai
tapak padate hain aansu jab waffa ka naam aata hai
waffa tumse karenge dukh sahenge naaz uthaayenge
jise aata hai dil dena usse har kaam aata hai
akele karvaten hain raat bhar bistar pe aur ham hain
kahan pehlu ko khali dekh kar aaraam aata hai
hasinon mein basar kar di jawani 'arzoo' ham ne
laganaadil ka seekhe hain yahi ik kaam aata hai

kis ne bheege huye baalon se ye jhataka paani
jhuum ke aayi ghata tuut ke barasa paani
ro liya phuut ke seene mein jalan ab kyon hai
aag pighla ke nikla hai ye jalta paani
koi matwali ghata thi ke jawani ki umang
jo baha le gaya barsaat ka pehla paani
tik-tiki baandhe vo phirte hain main iss fikr mein hun
kahin khane lage chakkar na ye gehara paani
baat karane mein vo unn aankhon se amrit tapka
'arzoo' dekhte hi munh mein bhar aaya paani

awal-e-shab vo bazm ki raunaq shama bhi thi parvana bhi
raat ke akhir hote hote khatm tha ye afasana bhi
qaid ko tod ke nikla jab main utha ke baguule saath huye
dasht-e-adam tak jangal jangal bhaag chala viirana bhi
haath se kis ne saagar patka mausam ki bekaifi par
itna barsa tuut ke baadal duub chala maikhana bhi
khoon hi ki shirkat vo kyon na ho shirkat cheez hai jhagade ki
apanon se vo dekh raha hun jo na kare begana bhi
ek lagi ke do hain asar aur donon hasb-e-maraatib hain
lau jo lagaaye shamma khadi hai raqs mein hai parvana bhi

बेइख्तियार हो के रहा दिल, तो कया रहा
ऐसी फजूल शै भी ना परवरदिगार दे

aarzoo luckhnavi ki shayyiri

beikhtiyyar ho ke raha dil, toh kya raha
aisi fazool shai bhi na parwardigaar de
