ek be-naam udaasi se bharaa baiThaa huun — Anjum Saleemi

patthar mein kaun jonk lagaaegaa mere dost
dil hai to mubtalaa bhi kahin honaa chaahiye

kisi tarah se nazar mutmain nahin hoti
har ek shai ko dobaara badal ke dekhtaa huun

Thiik se yaad bhi nahin ab to
ishq ne mujh mein kab qayaam kiyaa

barham hain mujh pe is liye donon taraf ke log
divaar uTh gai thi to dar kyuun banaayaa hai

main sab kaa sab mohabbat ke liye huun
so laa-mahdud muddat ke liye huun

kaisi hoti hain udaasi ki jaDein
aa dikhaaun tujhe dil ke reshe

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin
