Zoya Shaikh

hamein us se judaa honaa paDaa thaa
hamaare beach duniyaa aa gai thi

khaamushi kaa sabab nahin kuchh bhi
mujh ko bas guftugu se nafrat hai

vo miri saadgi pe martaa hai
mujh ko gahnon ki kyaa zarurat hai

khuddaar khud-parast hain ziddi balaa ke hain
ham jo gae to lauT ke vaapas na aaeinge

phir yuun huaa ki zindagi ik bojh ban gai
ik shakhs mere haath se yak-lakht kho gayaa

suno aao nayaa ik zakhm bakhsho
tumhaaraa hijr buDhaa ho gayaa hai

ishq hai mujh se use yaa ki faqat hamdardi
jab bhi vo chhoD ke jaataa hai palaT aataa hai
