رلا کے لہو بار بار گزری ہے ۔ داکٹر نریشؔ
۱
ترے فراق میں جب بھی بہار گزری ہے
ہمیں رلا کے لہو بار بار گزری ہے
۲
پناہ خدا کی حسینوں کی بد مزاجی سے
مری دعا بھی انہیں ناگوار گزری ہے
۳
تمام رات ستاروں کے ساتھ رویا ہوں
نہ پوچھ کیسے شبِ انتظار گزری ہے
۴
ترا نصیب اگر تو نے پی نہیں زاہد
بہار ورنہ بڑی پُر بہار گزری ہے
۵
ہم اپنے درد کو روئیں تو کس لیے آخر
شبِ فراق کسے سازگار گزری ہے
۶
کسی کی یاد میں ہم کو نریشؔ تڑپا کر
اٹھا کے حشر نسیم بہار گزری ہے
रुला के लहू बार बार गुज़्री है – डॉक्टर नरेश
१
तेरे फ़िराक़ में जब भी बहार गुज़्री है
हमें रुला के लहू बार बार गुज़्री है
२
पनाह ख़ुदा की हसीनों की बद-मिज़ाजी से
मेरी दुआ भी उन्हें नागवार गुज़्री है
३
तमाम रात सितारों के साथ रोया हूँ
न पूछ कैसे शब-ए इंतेज़ार गुज़्री है
४
तेरा नसीब अगर तू ने पी नहीं ज़ाहद
बहार वर्ना बड़ी पुर-बहार गुज़्री है
५
हम अपने दर्द को रोएँ तो किस लिए आख़र
शब-ए फ़िराक़ किसे साज़्गार गुज़्री है
६
किसी की याद में हम को नरेश तड़पा कर
उठा के हश्र नसीम-ए बहार गुज़्री है
