aa dekh ki mere aansuon mein — Ada Jafarey

bas ek baar manaayaa thaa jashn-e-mahrumi
phir us ke baad koi ibtilaa nahin aai

na bahlaavaa na samjhautaa judaai si judaai hai
'adaa' socho to khushbu kaa safar aasaan nahin hotaa

main aandhiyon ke paas talaash-e-sabaa mein huun
tum mujh se puchhte ho miraa hausla hai kyaa

hamaare shahr ke logon kaa ab ahvaal itnaa hai
kabhi akhbaar paDh lenaa kabhi akhbaar ho jaanaa

agar sach itnaa zaalim hai to ham se jhuuT hi bolo
hamein aataa hai patjhaD ke dinon gul-baar ho jaanaa

varna insaan mar gayaa hotaa
koi be-naam justuju hai abhi

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

sadme uThaaein rashk ke kab tak jo ho so ho
yaa to raqib hi nahin yaa aaj ham nahin

dard-e-dil kahte hue bazm mein aataa hai hijaab
takhliya ho to kuchh ahvaal sunaaein tujh ko

kabhi to apnaa samajh kar javaab de Daalo
badal badal ke sadaaein pukaartaa huun main
