aas Duubi to dil huaa raushan — Akhtar Ziai

koi ilaaj-e-gham-e-zindagi bataa vaaiz
sune hue jo fasaane hain phir sunaa na mujhe

dafatan aandhiyon ne rukh badlaa
naa-gahaan aarzu ke baagh jale

bhulaa chuke hain zamin o zamaan ke sab qisse
sukhan-taraaz hain lekin khalaa mein rahte hain

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

dil-e-haris hi apnaa na ho sakaa qaane
vagarna tere karam mein to kuchh kami na rahi

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
