hai qayaamat tire shabaab kaa rang — Akhtar Shirani

kis ko fursat thi zamaane ke sitam sahne ki
gar na us shokh ki aankhon kaa ishaaraa hotaa

ab to miliye bas laDaai ho chuki
ab to chaliye pyaar ki baatein karein

zindagi kitni masarrat se guzarti yaa rab
aish ki tarah agar gham bhi gavaaraa hotaa

yaad aao mujhe lillaah na tum yaad karo
meri aur apni javaani ko na barbaad karo

muddatein ho gaiin bichhDe hue tum se lekin
aaj tak dil se mire yaad tumhaari na gai

jo bhi buraa bhalaa hai allaah jaantaa hai
bande ke dil mein kyaa hai allaah jaantaa hai

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh
