shaam jaldi se guzar jaaegi to ham — Ajay Negi

dekhne haalat miri sab aae hain
ek bas us sang-dil ko chhoD kar

zindagi achchhi bahut hai
aaj phir se jhuuT bolaa

chashm-o-lab-o-rukhsaar par bose diye
ham ne zaraa si der mein kyaa kyaa kiyaa

aasmaan kaa ham khasaaraa kaise karte
us sitaare ko sharaara kaise karte

log koi aur hi matlab nikaalein dosti kaa
aap pahlu se mire thoDaa saa haT ke baiThaa kiije

chaae piite aur baatein karte lekin
tum yahaan aae ho ghussa saath le kar

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

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

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

main ne apni palkon par gham-kade sajaae hain
aarzu ke maatam mein sogvaar hasti hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ham haal to kah sakte hain apnaa pa kahein kyaa
jab vo idhar aate hain to tanhaa nahin aate
