mire nikaah se pahle ye baat likh denaa — Hilal Badayuni

maujud mere dil mein jo zakhmon ke daagh hain
vo ek bevafaa ke sitam ke charaagh hain

maza to jab hai ki dil kaa andheraa miT jaae
gharon mein laakh charaaghaan kiyaa kare koi

sirf rishta nahin ek ehsaas hai
duur ho kar bhi maan to mire paas hai

kuchh aur de na paae zamaane ko ham 'hilaal'
paighaam-e-amn deinge isi shaaeri se ham

gharib shakhs ko miltaa nahin kisi bhi tarah
ye ishq ho gayaa sarkaari naukri ki tarah

tumhaare saamne jazbaat saare khol saktaa huun
jo sunnaa chaahte ho tum main vo bhi bol saktaa huun

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

balaa-e-jaan thi jo bazm-e-tamaashaa chhoD di main ne
khushaa ai zindagi khvaabon ki duniyaa chhoD di main ne

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

zindagi tu bhi hamein vaise hi ik roz guzaar
jis tarah ham tujhe barson se guzaare hue hain

meri saari zindagi ko be-samar us ne kiyaa
umr meri thi magar us ko basar us ne kiyaa

jiinaa taDap taDap kar marnaa sisak sisak kar
fariyaad ek ji hai kyaa kyaa kharaabiyon mein
