ahmad faraaz
سارا کلام رکھ دیا ۔ اَحْمَد فراز
۱
اُس نے سُکُوتِ شب میں بھی اپنا پیام رکھ دیا
ہِجر کی رات بام پر ماہِ تمام رکھ دیا
۲
آمدِ دوست کی نوید کُوئے وفا میں عام تھی
میں نے بھی اِک چراغ سا دِل سَرِ شام رکھ دیا
۳
شِدّتِ تشنگی میں بھی غیرتِ مئے کشی رہی
اُس نے جو پھیر لی نظر میں نے بھی جام رکھ دیا
۴
دیکھو یہ میرے خواب تھے، دیکھو یہ میرے زخم ہیں
میں نے تو سب حسابِ جاں بر سَرِ عام رکھ دیا
۵
اُس نے نظر نظر میں ہی، ایسے بھلے سخن کہے
میں نے تو اُس كے پاؤں میں سارا کلام رکھ دیا
۶
اور فرازؔ چاہئیں کتنی محبتیں تجھے
ماؤں نے تیرے نام پر بچوں کا نام رکھ دیا
सारा कलाम रख दिया – अहमद फ़राज़
१
उस ने सुकूत ए शब में भी अपना पयाम रख दिया
हिजर की रात बाम पर माह-ए तमाम रख दिया
२
आमद-ए दोस्त की नवीद कू-ए वफ़ा में आम थी
मैं ने भी एक चिराग़ सा दिल सर-ए शाम रख दिया
३
शिद्दत-ए तिश्नगि में भी ग़ैरत-ए मै-कशि रही
उस ने जो फेर ली नज़र मैं ने भी जाम रख दिया
४
देखो ये मेरे ख़्वाब थे, देखो ये मेरे ज़ख़्म हैं
मैं ने तो सब हिसाब-ए जां बर-सर-ए आम रख दिया
५
उस ने नज़र नज़र में ही, ऐसे भले सुख़न कहे
मैं ने तो उस के पाऊं में सारा कलाम रख दिया
६
और फ़राज़ चाहिएं कितनी मोहब्बतें तुझे
माऔं ने तेरे नाम पर बच्चौं का नाम रख दिया

It’s the middle of the night of separation (from the beloved) and the poet lover is all alone on the roof top. The full moon appears like a message from the beloved; it brings a flood of memories increasing the anguish of the poet/lover.
