Khushbuu Hai Vo To Chhuu Ke Badan Ko Guzar Na Jaaye
Jab Tak Mere Vajuud Ke Andar Utar Na Jaaye
(vajuud = Existence)
Khud Phuul Ne Bhii Honth Kiye Apane Niim-vaa
Chorii Tamaam Rang Kii Titalii Ke Sar Na Jaaye
(niim-vaa = Half Open; Tamaam = Whole/entire)
(titalii = Butterfly)
Is Khauf Se Vo Saath Nibhaane Ke Haq Men Hai
Khokar Mujhe Ye Ladakii Kahiin Dukh Se Mar Na Jaaye
(khauf = Fear)
Palkon Ko Us Kii Apane Dupatte Se Ponch Duun
Kal Ke Safar Men Aaj Kii Gard-e-safar Na Jaaye
(gard = Dust)
Main Kis Ke Haath Bhejuun Use Aaj Kii Duaa
Qaasid Havaa Sitaaraa Ko_ii Us Ke Ghar Na Jaaye
Parveen Shakir
Shola-e-ishq Bujhaanaa Bhii Nahiin Chaahtaa Hai
Vo Magar Khud Ko Jalaanaa Bhii Nahiin Chaahtaa Hai
Us Ko Manzuur Nahiin Hai Mirii Gumraahii Bhii,
Aur Mujhe Raah Pe Laana Bhii Nahiin Chaahtaa Hai
Sair Bhii Jism Ke Sehraa Kii Khush Aatii Hai Magar,
Der Tak Khaak Uraanaa Bhii Nahiin Chaahtaa Hai
Kaise Us Shakhs Se Tabiir Pe Israar Karen
Jo Koii Khwaab Dikhaana Bhii Nahiin Chaahtaa Hai
Apne Kis Kaam Men Laayega Bataata Bhii Nahiin
Ham Ko Auron Pe Ganvaanaa Bhii Nahiin Chaahtaa Hai
Mere Lafzon Men Bhii Chhuptaa Nahiin Paikar Us Ka,
Dil Magar Naam Bataana Bhii Nahiin Chaahtaa Hai
