pahle har baat pe ham sochte the — Baqi Siddiqui

is badalte hue zamaane mein
tere qisse bhi kuchh puraane lage

kuchh na paa kar bhi mutmain hain ham
ishq mein haath kyaa khazaane lage

yahi rasta hai ab yahi manzil
ab yahin dil kisi bahaane lage

rang-e-dil rang-e-nazar yaad aayaa
tere jalvon kaa asar yaad aayaa

ek hansti hui badli dekhi
ek jaltaa huaa ghar yaad aayaa

dosti khun-e-jigar chaahti hai
kaam mushkil hai to rasta dekho

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

jinhein ye fikr nahin sar rahe rahe na rahe
vo sach hi kahte hain jab bolne pe aate hain

us ko sochun to dhyaan mein mere
khushbu aati hai pahli baarish ki

us ke rukhsaar pe hai aur tire honT pe til
tilmilaane ki ijaazat nahin di jaaegi

maango samundaron se na saahil ki bhiik tum
haan fikr o fan ke vaaste gahraai maang lo

qulzum-e-fikr mein hai kashti-e-imaan saalim
naa-khudaa husn hai aur ishq hai langar apnaa
