apnaa lahu bhar kar logon ko baanT gae paimaane log — Kaleem Aajiz

gham hai to koi lutf nahin bistar-e-gul par
ji khush hai to kaanTon pe bhi aaraam bahut hai

ye tarz-e-khaas hai koi kahaan se laaegaa
jo ham kaheinge kisi se kahaa na jaaegaa

mausam-e-gul hamein jab yaad aayaa
jitnaa gham bhule the sab yaad aayaa

haan kuchh bhi to derina mohabbat kaa bharam rakh
dil se na aa duniyaa ko dikhaane ke liye aa

unhin ke giit zamaane mein gaae jaaeinge
jo choT khaaeinge aur muskuraae jaaeinge

ye aansu be-sabab jaari nahin hai
mujhe rone ki bimaari nahin hai

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

sab ko ham bhuul gae josh-e-junun mein lekin
ik tiri yaad thi aisi jo bhulaai na gai

fikr-e-maaash ishq-e-butaan yaad-e-raftagaan
is zindagi mein ab koi kyaa kyaa kiyaa kare

jis roz kisi aur pe bedaad karoge
ye yaad rahe ham ko bahut yaad karoge

'saudaa' tiri fariyaad se aankhon mein kaTi raat
aai hai sahar hone ko tuk tu kahin mar bhi

ai vahshat-e-sahraa mire qadmon se lipaT jaa
ab is se ziyaada to bikharne se rahaa main
