hain udaasi ke aur bhi asbaab — Farzana Naz

ik maasum parinda hai dil
un aankhon mein jaal hai saahab

ye tasavvur hi jaan levaa hai
vo kisi aur kaa hai meraa nahin

mujh pe aasaan ho gayaa thaa vo
vo bhi urdu mein baat kartaa thaa

ik hamaari sadaa thi is ban mein
lo ji khaamosh ho gae ham bhi

hijrat mujh se lipaT gai hai
paanv mein kitne aur safar hain

shahr mein ham saa bhi nahin koi
ik vahi be-misaal thoDi hai

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

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

duniyaa se jaane vaalon ko raste mein gham nahin
sidhi saDak hai pher ki raah-e-adam nahin

tanhaai ki ye kaun si manzil hai rafiqo
taa-hadd-e-nazar ek bayaabaan saa kyuun hai

tere siine mein bhi ik daagh hai tanhaai kaa
jaantaa main to kabhi duur na hotaa tujh se
