hamein jab apnaa taaaruf karaanaa paDtaa hai — Farhat Ehsas

chaand bhi hairaan dariyaa bhi pareshaani mein hai
aks kis kaa hai ki itni raushni paani mein hai

main ronaa chaahtaa huun khuub ronaa chaahtaa huun main
phir us ke baad gahri niind sonaa chaahtaa huun main

vo aql-mand kabhi josh mein nahin aataa
gale to lagtaa hai aaghosh mein nahin aataa

har gali kuche mein rone ki sadaa meri hai
shahr mein jo bhi huaa hai vo khataa meri hai

tamaam paikar-e-badsurti hai mard ki zaat
mujhe yaqin hai khudaa mard ho nahin saktaa

ilaaj apnaa karaate phir rahe ho jaane kis kis se
mohabbat kar ke dekho naa mohabbat kyuun nahin karte

apni anaa ki aaj bhi taskin ham ne ki
ji bhar ke us ke husn ki tauhin ham ne ki

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

jab talak shisha rahaa main baar-haa toDaa gayaa
ban gayaa patthar to sab ne devtaa maanaa mujhe

kuchh phulon ki khaatir bhi kuchh phulon kaa
sab se achchhaa rang churaanaa paDtaa hai

ghurur bhi jo karun main to aajizi ho jaae
khudi mein lutf vo aae ki be-khudi ho jaae

vahaan hamaaraa koi muntazir nahin phir bhi
hamein na rok ki ghar jaanaa chaahte hain ham
