jhuTi mahfil hai jhuTi tanhaai — Chandrakant Rawat

musibat sar pe munh baae khaDi hai
tujhe ai dil mohabbat ki paDi hai

kaam ko imaan se anjaam detaa chal bashar
jaane kis surat mein teraa mehnataana aaegaa

tar-ba-tar ho kar rahein taa-zindagi
ai ghaTaa ik roz ham par yuun baras

ai mire dost ek muddat se
chaand dekhaa nahin teri chhat se

apni samjhe the magar nikli paraai zindagi
jaane kis miTTi ki thi qaabu na aai zindagi

mohabbat chaahiye to kar mohabbat
mohabbat dar mohabbat dar mohabbat

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

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

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
