Ek Dost Dhoondhta Hoon Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Ek dost dhoondhta hoon jo abtak nahin mila,
Koi mere junoon ka roke to silsila.
Keyun muskura rahe ho nazar shokh ho gaee,
Shayed tumhare dil mein koi phool hay khila.
Bheegi yeh aankhein dil mera tarpa hazar bar,
Lekin mere kheyalon ne pai nai jila.
Tumse nahin khud aap se rootha hua hoon main,
Maine nahin kiya hay koi aap se gila.
Main uth ke aa raha hoon sanbhal jaiye janab,
Taskheer kar ke baithoon ga maghroor yeh qila.
Madhosh ho ke aap se keh doon main dil ki bat,
Ek roz mujhko jam koi aisa bhi pila.
Keyun mangoon woh jo de nahin sakta koi mujhe,
Kisko mila hay apni wafaon ka yeh sila.
