duniyaa pasand aane lagi dil ko ab bahut — Jamal Ehsani

jaantaa huun mire qissa-go ne
asl qisse ko chhupaa rakkhaa hai

maaein darvaazon par hain
baarish hone vaali hai

mere hone se na honaa hai miraa
aag jalne se dhuaan aabaad hai

sunte hain us ne DhunD liyaa aur koi ghar
ab tak jo aankh thi tire dar par lagi hui

jo pahle roz se do aanganon mein thaa haail
vo faasla to zamin aasmaan mein bhi na thaa

na ajnabi hai koi aur na aashnaa koi
akele-pan ki bhi hoti hai intihaa koi

Dil dhoondta hai phir wahi fursat-e-shab-o-roz
Naaz uthana, naaz uthana, naaz uthana

main bhi ruk ruk ke na martaa jo zabaan ke badle
dashna ik tez saa hotaa mire gham-khvaar ke paas

ranjish hi sahi dil hi dukhaane ke liye aa
aa phir se mujhe chhoD ke jaane ke liye aa

baDe baDe gham khaDe hue the rasta roke raahon mein
chhoTi chhoTi khushiyon se hi ham ne dil ko shaad kiyaa

dost-daar-e-dushman hai e'timaad-e-dil maalum
aah be-asar dekhi naala naa-rasaa paayaa

dil naa-umid to nahin naakaam hi to hai
lambi hai gham ki shaam magar shaam hi to hai
