tum jise samjhe ho duniyaa us ke aanchal ke tale — Chandrabhan Khayal

vaqt aur haalaat par kyaa tabsira kiije ki jab
ek uljhan dusri uljhan ko suljhaane lage

nazar mein shokh shabihein liye hue hai sahar
abhi na koi idhar se dhuaan dhuaan guzre

sochtaa huun to aur baDhti hai
zindagi hai ki pyaas hai koi

apni divaaron se kuchh baahar nikal
sirf khaali ghar ke baam-o-dar na dekh

shahr mein jurm-o-havaadis is qadar hain aaj-kal
ab to ghar mein baiTh kar bhi log ghabraane lage

paas se dekhaa to jaanaa kis qadar maghmum hain
an-ginat chehre ki jin ko shaadmaan samjhaa thaa main

na tum hosh mein ho na ham hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein vahin baat hogi

sau fasaad ek ishq mein uTThe
boyaa ik tukhm uge hazaar darakht

zindagi zor hai ravaani kaa
kyaa thamegaa bahaav paani kaa

ye sar-ba-mohr botalein hain jo sharaab ki
raatein hain un mein band hamaari shabaab ki

tumhaari yaad nikalti nahin mire dil se
nasha chhalaktaa nahin hai sharaab se baahar

khudaa ke haath hai biknaa na biknaa mai kaa ai saaqi
baraabar masjid-e-jaame ke ham ne ab dukaan rakh di
