tauba tauba ye balaa-khez javaani tauba — Arsh Malsiyani

jitni vo mire haal pe karte hain jafaaein
aataa hai mujhe un ki mohabbat kaa yaqin aur

ishq-e-butaan kaa le ke sahaaraa kabhi kabhi
apne khudaa ko ham ne pukaaraa kabhi kabhi

mohabbat soz bhi hai saaz bhi hai
khamoshi bhi hai ye aavaaz bhi hai

maut hi insaan ki dushman nahin
zindagi bhi jaan le kar jaaegi

ik raushni si dil mein thi vo bhi nahin rahi
vo kyaa gae charaagh-e-tamannaa bujhaa gae

saaqi miri khamosh-mizaaji ki laaj rakh
iqraar gar nahin hai to inkaar bhi nahin

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

koi viraani si viraani hai
dasht ko dekh ke ghar yaad aayaa

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost

phir mujhe dida-e-tar yaad aayaa
dil jigar tishna-e-fariyaad aayaa

un ki yaad mein bahte aansu khushk agar ho jaaeinge
saat samundar apni khaali aaankhon mein bhar laaungaa

mujhe kharaab kiyaa us ne haan kiyaa hogaa
usi se puchhiye mujh ko khabar ziyaada nahin
