khvaah dil se mujhe na chaahe vo — Anwar Shuoor

go mujhe ehsaas-e-tanhaai rahaa shiddat ke saath
kaaT di aadhi sadi ek ajnabi aurat ke saath

zamaane ke jhamelon se mujhe kyaa
miri jaan! main tumhaaraa aadmi huun

divaar-e-zindaan ke pichhe
jurm-e-mohabbat mein baiThaa huun

miri hayaat hai bas raat ke andhere tak
mujhe havaa se bachaae rakho savere tak

kabhi rotaa thaa us ko yaad kar ke
ab aksar be-sabab rone lagaa huun

aadmi ke liye ronaa hai baDi baat 'shuur'
hans to sakte hain sab insaan hansi mein kyaa 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

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

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

main badalte hue haalaat mein Dhal jaataa huun
dekhne vaale adaakaar samajhte hain mujhe
