dil ki haalat puchhne vaalo — Hastimal Hasti

khel zindagi ke tum khelte raho yaaro
haar jiit koi bhi aakhiri nahin hoti

pyaar kaa pahlaa khat likhne mein vaqt to lagtaa hai
nae parindon ko uDne mein vaqt to lagtaa hai

kuchh aur sabaq ham ko zamaane ne sikhaae
kuchh aur sabaq ham ne kitaabon mein paDhe the

hamein pasand nahin jang mein bhi makkaari
jise nishaane pe rakkhein bataa ke rakhte hain

kahin khulus kahin dosti kahin pe vafaa
baDe qarine se ghar ko sajaa ke rakhte hain

khud charaagh ban ke jal vaqt ke andhere mein
bhiik ke ujaalon se raushni nahin hoti

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

dil-e-haris hi apnaa na ho sakaa qaane
vagarna tere karam mein to kuchh kami na rahi

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai
