teraa naam likhti hain ungliyaan khalaaon mein — Ishrat Afreen

vo zakhm chun ke mire khaar mujh mein chhoD gayaa
ki us ko shauq thaa be-intihaa gulaabon kaa

kachchi umron mein bhi akeli rahi
main sadaa apni hi saheli rahi

yaa mujhe teri hatheli bujhe
yaa koi shokh saheli bujhe

bhuuk se yaa vabaa se marnaa hai
faisla aadmi ko karnaa hai

laDkiyaan maaon jaise muqaddar kyuun rakhti hain
tan sahraa aur aankh samundar kyuun rakhti hain

avval ahl-e-qabila ne parcham banaayaa use aur phir
pesh-e-dushman bhi taavaan mein sirf meri ridaa le gae

ai dost is zamaan-o-makaan ke azaab mein
dushman hai jo kisi ko duaa-e-hayaat de

ye naqsha hai ki munh takne lagaa hai muddaaa meraa
ye haalat hai ki surat dekhtaa hai muddai meri

main zindagi ki duaa maangne lagaa huun bahut
jo ho sake to duaaon ko be-asar kar de

main chaahtaa thaa miraa ishq laa-zavaal rahe
so maghfirat ki duaa maangtaa rahaa kal raat

zakhm aur peD ne ik saath duaa maangi hai
dekhiye pahle yahaan kaun haraa hotaa hai

yuun bhi kaT sakte hain ye tishna-labi ke lamhaat
baiTh kar bazm mein saaqi ko duaa dein ham log
