ai khudaa meri ragon mein dauD jaa — Farhat Ehsas

ek bose ke bhi nasib na hon
honTh itne bhi ab gharib na hon

kisi haalat mein bhi tanhaa nahin hone deti
hai yahi ek kharaabi miri tanhaai ki

kaarkhaana hai usi husn kaa aalam saaraa
bas jidhar us ne lagaayaa hai udhar lag gae hain

'ehsaas' ne buton mein khudaa ko kiyaa sharik
is shirk ke baghair to imaan hi nahin

vo chaand kah ke gayaa thaa ki aaj niklegaa
to intizaar mein baiThaa huaa huun shaam se main

mohabbat phuul banne par lagi thi
palaT kar phir kali kar li hai main ne

Dil dhoondta hai phir wahi fursat-e-shab-o-roz
Naaz uthana, naaz uthana, naaz uthana

main bhi ruk ruk ke na martaa jo zabaan ke badle
dashna ik tez saa hotaa mire gham-khvaar ke paas

ranjish hi sahi dil hi dukhaane ke liye aa
aa phir se mujhe chhoD ke jaane ke liye aa

baDe baDe gham khaDe hue the rasta roke raahon mein
chhoTi chhoTi khushiyon se hi ham ne dil ko shaad kiyaa

dost-daar-e-dushman hai e'timaad-e-dil maalum
aah be-asar dekhi naala naa-rasaa paayaa

dil naa-umid to nahin naakaam hi to hai
lambi hai gham ki shaam magar shaam hi to hai
